Rule of thumb, I believe, is that a large mouth bass (LMB)can eat fish that are 2/3rds it's length OR is it 1/3rd? Either way, Bucky is big enough to eat your stockers. I'd get him out along with the green sunfish (GSF). The GSF can become an overpopulation problem in most cases.

Check out this very long but very informative read on keeping/growing blue gills...

The linked read is what got me accelerated into my pond hobby AND welcome to the club/forums!

EDIT: I would do some reading on aeration...a pond that small with that many fish could use some extra insurance against DO2 crashes. especially if you continue to feed and they get bigger.
