When we stocked our pond, we were told by several people (our stocker and Wildlife & Fisheries) that it was best to stock with the Black Crappie and not the White Crappie unless you have a large enough pond (which would probably be considered a small lake). Because they are a lot more predatory than even bass and would eat all the baitfish if not caught fast enough and cause them to be stunted from overpopulation and not enough bait fish.
