I'm feeding a 50/50 mix of Optima BG and Bass foods. Thrown from a automatic feeder at dawn and dusk. The feed disappears in seconds. I don't see the HSB feeding, or my SMB. I've caught a lot of the SMB, but not the HSB. I'm wondering if when they were small, they hung out too near the surface, and the kingfisher picked them all off?


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
