ML and Greg, I�m changing to strictly BG/Tilapia natural feeding program for our HSB/BG pond by necessity, and based as well on Todd�s successful �grow-out� HSB/Tilapia experience, and ML's ongoing LMB/Tilapia/BG experiment. . By necessity rather that design � the goats knocked down the feeder pole and the raccoons finished by destroying the Native Feeder impeller for the second time�!
My thoughts are to manage the predator/prey relationship by put and take HSB from � or to � main pond with large HSB.
Pond is presently stocked with one year old HSB, RES, and 8-10 inch CNBG breeding pairs stocked late summer No LMB or CC allowed in this pond � only HSB, CNBG, RES and Tilapia�. !
The two year old pond will be � acre and 12 ft deep if ever full - probably no more than 4-5 ft presently.
You thoughts? George Glazener
N.E. Texas � acre and 2 acre ponds if it ever rains
