I did not have any sucess trying to grow LCS in a cage. Don't plan on them eating pelleted foods. I babied them every way I could think of and they bascially starved. I think they prefer natural foods that comprise the pond periphyton (attached benthic algae community), aufwuchs, or the growth layer on top of the sediments (epipelic and epipsammic communities). LCS may do best in ponds that have a larger percentage of shallow water areas (0-4 ft deep - littoral).
If your other ponds tend to have a shortage of BG then consider GSH and BG.
