So are you saying that if I put a couple of pounds of fathead minnows in the pond, I could protect that shell crackers until they get big enough to be safe from the bass.
Ideally the FHM go in and do what they do, spawn like crazy. Females are capable of spawning every two weeks producing 200-400 each time. This gives your fish an all you can eat buffet of various sized FHM. I added five pounds to my 1/4 acre pond. They were $10 a pound locally. Besides the food you said they'd be given, what else is there for them to eat? How old is the pond?
