That point struck me as interesting also. Growing up in the North (anything north of Dallas is the North
) folks were always concerned about BG stunting and I often read about it on other sites.
Here it is completely different. I can't remember the last time I intentionally removed BG from my ponds(and then only for eating) and have never seen stunting as described in the north. Even in the presence of very large numbers of BG, increased by years of Tilapia stocking, I do not see stunting of BG...universal rules aren't all that universal when it comes to ponds.
