You can reduce the BG-HBG-redear number down to near 100 if you are on a budget and expect the pond to be significantly reduced in size by fall-winer. If you are only adding 6-8 fingerling LMbass then you can reduce the FHminnows to 4-6 lbs. If you have never experienced good quality HBG at 9" long they may become one of your favorite panfish replacing crappie or equaling them as desirability. As you remove HBG plan to replace some of them every 1-3 years. They can be lots of fun for all panfish anglers.
