1,200 - 1,500 gallon ohio pond

Native preds will work, but being that they are predators, and ambush hunters, they will hide or blend into the surrounding most of the time. A friend of mine has a LMB that takes pellets and market shrimp when the goldies come to feed. He is really cool around feeding time, but then he just blends into the depths. A bullhead makes a cool pondmate, but again the like to hide.

Yeah, I'm starting to see why most experienced fish keepers keep a bunch of friendly active fish, as opposed to 1 'really cool' fish that eats other animals.

For now I am just absorbing information, and waiting for algae to grow.
