Those are average adult size, Don. FHM are usually wiped out by the LMB and added as a jump start for juvenile LMB in original stocking as easy forage till their primary prey fish, most often a BG can reproduce enough times


I have stocked these FHM for my perch pond. Only predator fish in our pond is perch. The rest is FHM, and shiners. The FHM really like to propagate and will take the smaller feed we are feeding to the perch.

I really like the idea of a FHM only forage pond. Maybe I can find a neighbors pond I could use too.

One question that has been bugging me and I hope maybe Bills Perch special in Pond Boss will shed some light on how many naturally born perch will take to the pellets being fed to their parents.

Cheers Don.
