The issue with your theory is suckers will just be another species competing for food, depleting oxygen, add waste to the system, and stirring up the bottom. The carp would not see much impact compared to the more sensitive trout
but the thing is suckers need their own kind to reproduce, prussian carp does not. they have this scary ability to use sperm from other species and use only the elements they need and they can clone themselves and spawn up to 4 times a year according to the pamphlet i read. its the carps numbers that is an issue for me over populating the other species.
this article explains some of it too
