T.H. Fishkeeping Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Last year I put in a 125 gallon pond in my backyard. right now there is only a few goldfish and frogs in there. I really want to replace the goldfish with some native fish. I was thinking maybe a bass or some bluegill. Idk though if it is big enough for any native fish. Does any body of experience with native fish and if so... what would you stock the pond with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Native fish is pretty tricky state by state. See what your state allows you to keep and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 125g is big enough for some bluegill, and even bass, but within a year the bass will be at a size where it wont be happy. sunnies/bluegill/pumpkinseeds, and perch would all do okay. i would be cautious with over stocking, as they do grow fast the first year. of course be aware some birds, and raccoons will try to fish out the pond if they are able to.
