I know it's possible that they all be ladies, but I've got a 33.36% chance that one of them is male...lol. I waited until after the spawn to get them on purpose so they could feed up and get acclimated well before next spring. I see the largest of them regularly. It looks really good and appears to be even broader than when I put it in the pond already. I plan to add maybe 3 more between now and early fall, so my odds of getting a male in the mix goes up a little bit. As I said, they weren't stocked to be trophies, I already have an 8# LMB and 7-2 SMB on the wall. They're strictly crowd control. So far they're doing a fine job. I don't intend to let them get too big as their purpose in life is to thin out the little ones so the bigger perch can get even bigger.
