Adding fingerling bass to existing lake

I have an opportunity to add some florida strain fingerling bass to my 15 year old 35 acre lake (originally stocked with florida bass)...definitely see a long term benefit from the ability to add some genetic diversity...the fish to be added are 2.5-3" in size...my questions are:
1. What percentage will be eaten right away by the existing fish population?...and ultimately what percentage could have the chance to survive to a large enough size to benefit the lake? (if I were to add 1,000 fish, would you expect only 100 or so to make it to 2 lbs?...is that assumption way off?)
2. I cull every bass under 2 lbs...and have for the last several years...how would the addition of new bass (that I wouldn't want to cull) change this strategy?...was leaning towards taking a break for a two year period and then starting it back up...is this a good plan?...what else is there to think about?
