Small pond predator

[notnew2dis]

Get a green sunfish. Cold Weather does not bother it, and he is a great little predator.
You should be able to catch one in Central Florida.

just catch a bass/catfish from your local rivers. quartine them and then put them in your pond

Thanks for the input guys. I really like the turtle and crayfish ideas in going to look into that.

GL man i would go witha turtle because you can see them and they are awsome pics f pond plz

I would like to do a turtle the only problem is that during the this time of year and into late spring the pond gets no direct sunlight. I didn't quite think about that when I dug the hole. So I'm afraid a turtle wouldn't work not getting a warm basking area and uv light.

You could hook up one of those big halogen worklights on especially cold nights... That would give him some heat rays & keep the pond from dropping too low

Bullhead, sunfish, perch.
