In addition to esshop's question, and based on the need for submerged vegetation to maintain SMB forage, am I better waiting till next fall to add SMB, YP, and RES to the pond that was built last year, and stocked with GSH and FHM this spring (I see los of very small fish now)? Alternatively, would stocking a small number of a smaller size of these preditors be OK this fall - maybe 20 of each in the 3/4 acre pond?
