That's good stuff snrub. The latter attempt where your pond got out hand reminds us how easy nature can get its' way. Now the FHM and RES blend in your mini-pond may answer alot of questions. Such as:

Will established FHMs clean out the RES beds of their eggs?
or
Will established FHMs simply control RES overpopulation? (too easy!)

Will FHMs become great forage for big RES?
or
Will FHMs tie up much of the pond biomass and escape RES predation?

4" RES playing at spawning in July? I've much to learn.
