John, I had missed all your pics of the SMB fry. Wow! Mine have been in for a few years. They are getting up around 14”, but I don’t think they are reproducing. I’ll maybe have to try a throw net one of these days. Do you throw it when your feeding? Also you just mentioned stocking GS. I had to go to the acronym page because GS stumped me. Help a novice to understand. I’ve got schools and schools of GSH in my pond. I think the SMB are working them, but not knocking them numbers down much. My FHM have become pretty scarce though.
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. Otter attack in 2023
