Tritonvt,
Take a balanced LMB/BG pond .. Like Greg said it depends on your goals. If you're managing for quality bass ie:(not catching a bass on every cast but the ones caught are BIG) the ideal numbers or balance of both fish in the pond will be different than if you're managing for quantity of bass ie: (catching & eating alot of bass.) Now in the Quality bass pond you've reached a ballance of preditor/forage such that you are growing very large bass very quickly. Then you sell the pond & the new owner loves catching your huge bass but also wants to grow & catch huge blue cats so he introduces them to this very well balanced pond and increases the forage by adding shad & shiners.
On the surface it looks as if this could work, and I'm sure it's possible. BUT .. managing such a pond without damaging the quality of the huge bass will be extreemly difficult. When the new owner introduced an additional preditor he should be prepared to diminish his trophy bass fishery. Like Greg said it all depends on your goals.
