I doubt the RES will continue to eat pellets in the pond. My pond RES are always in better condition than my BG; they must have tons of natural feed wrt their population numbers.

I do hope pellet trained RES will stay on feed in pond #2, if stocked before the food chain fully develops.

Tagging trial tonight with a 5.5" BG seemed successful; next, on to the Redears.
