| Suttle Fish Farm sells the Redear
Sunfish for lake and pond stocking. The Redear feeds on aquatic
insects, lavae, snails, and cladocerans. Snails are a major food item
in adults, which they crush with pharyngeal teeth, giving rise to the
vernacular name "shellcracker". The shellcracker should never be
stocked as your primary fish. They should only be stocked percentage
wise because the pond will not make enough feed for these fish.
Approximately 20-25% is all that is needed. Higher stocking rates
proved to be detrimental to the growth of other fish in your pond. The
redear will obtain a growth of well over a pound. Redear are usually
stocked
with coppernose bluegill as forage fish for your bass. Price
$25.00 per 100 $250.00 per 1000 *Larger sizes available upon request & availablity; larger fish cannot be shipped Call
