Thanks guys. Sounds like a potential occupant, but not a primary member of the food chain.

I skimmed through all 18 pages of the creating the food chain thread today looking for alternative species to build a diverse forage base. Somewhere in there, there was a mention of diverse vs simple forage base thread, but I have been unable to find it. Do you guys recall this thread.

There weren't a lot of outside the box ideas that people thought were good ideas. I believe the consensus forage fish were:

GSH
Bluntnose minnows
spotfin shiners
PK shrimp
papershell crayfish
lake chubsuckers
BG
RES
Gizzard shad

That isn't the broadest selection. What other candidates might you suggest?
