The fish dealers in my area have told me that I can stock FHM in my new 2 acre pond and they'll reproduce as a sustaining food source for the LM, CC, BG, and RE I'll later stock. I've also spoken to the Iowa DNR who have been extremely helpful and they said I'd basically be wasting my money on FHM because they'd be such a small % of the pond's bio-mass compared to the BG YOY and they'd be wiped out by the 2nd year. I'm inclined to listen to the DNR since they don't have any other motives like selling me fish, but I've also read alot of positive things on here about FHM. I'm curious about what everyone has to say about FHM as a food source and whether they can sustain themselves without restocking every year.
