Ewest,
I stocked the CNBG & NBG in late January 2012 so do you think that the GSF have spawned with the CNBG and or native BG and these are the offspring or would their size suggest I bought these along with the GSF when I stocked? I'm just attempting to understand how and why.
I have read post suggesting too avoid stocking HBG with native BG. Now that it has been confirmed that I have GSF & possible HBG in the pond, knowing that they will x-breed & produce HBG, then how will this affect the balance of the pond in the long haul when my LMB are only 3-4" at this time?
If I stock larger size LMB at this time, all the fish residing in the pond will be subject to predadation so I assume that idea is out of the question. Any other ideas?
Looks like the kids ran the trap, took the GSF and fed the cats until they turned up their noses and then fed a couple of ant piles. I will see what we can gather this afternoon.
