Sorry for my late reply, and thank you for your quick replies.

Ideally for my pond, I'd like a diverse pond, yet balanced to where I can catch decent (good eating) sized LMB, BG, and CC. The BG and CC would be for eating and the LMB would either be for eating as well or just for sport. At this point, I do not feed, but I am planning on starting to do so in the spring.

I'm really just wondering if adding CC would potentially wipe out the BG or LMB populations over time if not properly harvested? Other than potentially stressing the forage fish population, is there any other downside to adding the CC?

Thanks
