TJ, my one concern with promoting vegetation in a HBG environment is the need to keep pressure on the fry and yoy. I like to think the primary goal is to greatly curtail recruitment, and while plants will tie up nutrients thereby reducing the FA, they may also offer cover, which could be detrimental to the goal.
I wonder where the balance/happy medium point is, regarding HBG and the area devoted to beneficial plants??
Furthermore, if the goal is to try and reduce the fry/yoy, is it possible a more pelagic species like HSB might not fare as well prowling through the shallow vegetation like a LMB would, where predation against the HBG is concerned?
Always more questions.
