BG spawn just after (sometimes overlap)LMB. LMB yoy/fry eat plankton , small invertebrates , bugs etc for the first 30 days +- then will eat the next spawn of BG just after hatching. It tales a 2 inch +- LMB to eat a brand new BG fry (gape size key). LMB up to about 6 inches feast on recently hatched yoy BG .

Swim up (post fertilization) time of BG depends on temps. If cool it takes longer, warmer = faster. Can be from 7 to 14 days +-.
