I think all those statements are true. But the LMB will become stunted in everybody's ponds if they weren't kept under control by the top-of-the-line pond predator; man.

I think that if he fed the BG, added LMB, and kept an eye on things, the pond would slowly get back into balance, then if some LMB were not removed, then it would become LMB heavy/BG light, and stunt. But, that's without any intervention from man.

One thing that hasn't been asked or answered is where did the LMB or other predators go, IF there were any in there in the first place?
