I dont know this a factual, but I'm pretty sure I've read here that mixing both LMB and SMB in the same pond would not be a good mix. The LMB would not allow the SMB to be very successful in rearing young. YP/WE introduction into a pond where LMB are already established is also kinda like adding FHM. Their fusiform makes them a prime forage target and susceptible to over predation.
