Good news for my pond! This past spring I dropped a dead Christmas tree next to my dock in shallow water. Recently some small fish have started to relate to it in small schools. I was watching them closely tonight and apparently some of the small fish I thought were FHM are not FHM. They are actually small BG (0.5"-1") and LMB (1.5"-3"). The BG are starting to show vertical lines along their sides. The LMB bass are schooling together and some have developed a black fringe on their tail and a black line along their lateral lines.
I will still stock more FHM when they are available this Fall but it looks like my bass have some home grown food now.
