I have 7 GC in a one acre pond. They were stocked 3 years ago to control the huge amount of pondweed. They did a great job. Then they started on the milfoil and got most of it. However, now I see pondweed coming back and wonder if they have grown too much to have an appetite. ML, I have the same problem you do regarding groceries, calories, waistline and, most of all, will power.
