catfish, sunfish, or bass to eat crayfish

[myfishhadbabies]

need a fish to get rid of the crayfish in my small 300g pond
any suggestions?

Bass, catfish, or a green sunfish should work great.

I'd use a green sunfish, as they could easily live in the pond for life with other fish.

Bass.

I would say bullhead catfish or bass. Bullheads are a smaller catfish and won't outgrow your pond, but bass eat a lot. Good Luck.

Warmouth or Greensunfish since its a 300g.....if it was bigger I would say Bass or Bullhead.

thanks, ill see what is available. ill go with a sunfish since the other two wont fit.

The problem with using sunfish is that they will only be able to eat small crayfish, so depending on what sizes are in there, you may want to use something else. Why not just net them? Or use a trap? There cant be that many in there....

Your right a full grown large sunfish (Redbreast, Green, Pumpkinseed, Warmouth,Redear) wont eat Crayfish over 5 inches right off the bat......theyll wait until they molt! Recipe sounds good, we just used to fry'em in Butter (Ozark Mountain Lobsters).
