Yes and LSU used some in one of their studies. The fish should be fine but never assume any hatchery has the right answers or can deliver as promised. Thanks for the vid. ! Were there any predators in the pond?

Pond update! With the lack of rain the pond has gone down ALOT, looks like im never gonna get to full pool lol. anyway all the CNBG I stocked and the ones that were from last springs spawn are about 3-4" and know where the feeder is and when to be there! My FHM seem to have exploded!! which I love because I know that will equal alot of food for my bass finglerings! question though, what is the normal growth rate for CNBG in the south?

CNBG growth in the south depends on several factors the biggest being amount of available food !!! With plenty of food they can be 8+ inches at one year. SRAC fact sheets provide that under those conditions BG yoy can grow an inch a month in year 1. This CNBG was on feed and was 9 months old.

Finally getting some rain! the pond is slowly coming back up. I am happy to say my CNBG I got from suttle fish farm are now lil butter balls! they are just about wide as they are long lol right now they range from 4"-5". Also there are thousands of new fingerling CNBG that have hatched this year all around the pond!! So when I get my bass in a couple weeks they should have plenty of food to get them off to a good start! plus going to add golden shiners soon!

Make sure those bass are keeping both populations of GS and BG thinned a bit to dissuade over-competition and thus skinnier fish. It appears like your pond is heading in the right direction quick!

My CNBG have been in the pond now for 7 month eating a diet of 36% protein fish food, what size should they be around for good growth?

That would depend on many factors especially competition for food amongst the new generation. The original stockers could easily be 8 inches by 8 mths.
