If they are new ponds and you try presenting fish feed, you may see FHM show up to eat. If there is plenty for them to eat in the pond, you might not see any live FHM until they spawn and the fry/juveniles become apparent. You might see a few morts along the shoreline; don't worry, spawning mortality can be notable among (male) FHM.
