Sunil should be able to supply the name of his HSB supplier.
With an established LMB group the minnows and shiners will be just temporary food. You will be lucky if the 10 lbs lasts 7 days; 3-5 days is more likely.
If you like to catch striped bass, and hybrid bass then I would remove every LMB that you can by angling. With good regular feeding of high protein pellets (not cheap catfish food) and if you remove most all LMB you could put 30 to 40 HSB in the pond. You may have to thin them as they get to 18"-22". With that many HSB aeration would be very beneficial to help keep the pond in a healthier condition.
Why do you recommend the aeration. Will the Hybrids have an ill affect on water quality?
