Hey, with a little pond like mine, it's not work. It's just fun and trying different things! 100% natural supplemental food. I will try all the above and let you guys know how it works out.
I know this is an unpopular approach here, but my bass will be used to control population of other species only. They will be harvested 14+ and restock or recruitment will maintain their population. With that said, my original YP will be allowed to grow to a ripe old age.
And no the bass harvested will not meet hot grease. They will be steamed with exotic Thai spices that compliment their delicate flavor!

Oh I don't know about that...I wouldn't consider using LMB in a sacrificial role intended solely to benefit another species, a totally unpopular or unheard of idea!
