Joey, Bill Cody mentions cannibalism. Watch for it. I've seen two 1.5 inch LMB side by side. Then there was one with the tail of the other sticking out of its mouth. Even in a bathtub or larger sized container, you will see a reduction in numbers without any morts. The guy that I talked to about it called the cannibals "jumpers". Due to agressiveness, they will usually turn out to be the ones that outgrow the others. He also called them "Hogouts". It's Mama Nature practicing selectivism.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
