I wouldn't add crawfish. They're competing for the same food supply as the minnows and other small fish. Can keep supplementing minnows.

When you add minnows add twice as many as you think you need. When I add them to my pond half get eaten immediately. They don't know where they are and the bass or any aggressive fish eat them immediately. I try to add them in an area different from where I typically feed them to give them a chance. I would recommend stocking bluegill and perch in the fall and bass in the spring. Start with 4-6" bass if you can to give them a better survival rate.

I wouldn't add any crawfish until the bass are sized to eat them. 12" or larger.
