Well we just put in 2,000 minnows, 250 bb, and 50 CC. Does anyone have an idea of when we will start getting growth to them? Any advice of what I could do to make them grow faster and healthier?

The 50 CC will eat the 250 bluegill (BB is bluegill?) and the 2000 minnows fairly quickly and the CC will grow well. You probably are low on the forage side of things.

The CC are likely pellet trained. If you feed them all the floating pellets they will take in five minutes twice a day as long as water temp remains above 60 F., they should be close to one pound by October, and catching / eating size by mid summer next year. My two year old CC now range from two to five pounds. There will be some pellet hogs that will grow faster than others, and some others not so much. Mine average about three pounds and about 19 inches at two years.
My CC did not eat significant numbers of FHM or BG. Maybe because they prefer pellets?

Take a look at this fact sheet on CC from SRAC. https://srac.tamu.edu/serveFactSheet/24

I found out it's harder to grow big BG with CC in there. The CC will take the feed when they want it and push the BG away.
