Grass carp are vegatarians as far as I know...regardless, they won't have a negative impact on a pond full of bass, crappie, and brim. Just make sure they are STERILE, or you will eventually have a pond full of carp...probably more of a nuisance than weeds
. That's why they cost $10+ each....the sterile verification process. I saw a sign for "grass carp" at a garden center last year, but they weren't sterile...you certainly don't want those. Since you're in BR...I agree with Randy...contact the folks at LSU and see what they have to say....good luck!
