I have seen overstocking Tp at my pond and did not see any problem with the other fish, lmb,hsb,bg,res or TFS. But overstocking did bring in other animals and birds to feed on them when they slowed down in the Early winter. I usually see the Tp slowing down in December. Other things being Bald Eagles, River otters, Cormorants. So, after all that I have reduced my stocking rates to 12 to 15 lbs per acre. I think that has helped to reduce the others from feeding on my fish.
There is an older thread here where Todd Overton recommended 12 lbs per acre in a lmb/bg pond
