I guess my reasoning for wanting to add the HBG is for the size factor. Is it not true that the HBG outgrow the BG? Or do they reach the same size potential? My concern being in a northern climate is that I will have stunted BG. Another concern is the fact that I am worried that 1000 3-5 inch BG is too many for the pond. This whole thing has been eating at me for some time. I see many of the ponds in Central Illinois that are so overstocked with BG that they are all stunted. I realize that this is because there are not enough LMB in the waters. I just dont want to have what everyone around us has! Perhaps I am thinking too much.
