Sterile Grass Carp

The stocking rate for Grass Carp is 20-25 carp per acre. It is better if you stock the number of carp called for to start with. If you stock less than 20 per acre the carp will never catch up to all the aquatic weeds, grass, moss and algae, etc. This means you will need to add more carp later and it will take longer for the carp to do there job controlling the pond problems.

We encourage purchasing the recommended number of carp, but we will sell the customer the number of carp they want until they reach the number needed. In a new pond you can stock 6-8 carp per acre as a preventative to keep weeds under control from the start. Remember this fish does not reproduce and will live about 10 years.
