Moderation? I only do that in small amounts.

You have got me thinking about follow-on year stockings. Next year I would need to do this size HSB (or bigger) again. After that, if I'm lucky, I'll be stocking a new pond (with the intent to transfer most HSB to the existing pond after grow out) and have much more in the way of choices.

I may peel the numbers back a little and plan on repeating with more 8" to 10" HSB next year.
