Diversity and they will eat the snail population and keep the parasite that snails can carry down to a minimum. Plus they eat real good. The RES that is

And don't forget that RES have the capacity to grow much larger than BG.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Great for the table if u can get them located.  Hard to find any numbers sometimes 
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.

What do you catch them on? Snails? If our drought continues, I'll never get my pond full.. 
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

My pond was a mess with parasites and snails until I put my RES in there. Man they cleaned all that right up in 2 years. Ya got to have them just for the maintenance they do. I catch most of mine on worms and crappie minnows. Maybe a small rooster tail.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
