I have three or four 12" to 15" LMB in my 1/2 to 2/3 rds of an acre pond. I'm looking to add BG to my pond for forage production. How large do the BG need to be to not become lunch immediately? I have lots of smaller LMB in the 4" to 6" size range and some slightly larger. I'm not aware of anything larger in LMB. I also have Catfish, not sure which variety. I've seen twelve to eighteen 12" to 15" size range. Will they also look at the BG as lunch? What size should the BG be for them to survive and produce fry for future forage meals? How many should I stock? Should I split my stocking with larger BG and smaller BG for current lunch menus? Or would using other feeder fish satisfy the current menu for the LMB and Catfish? I hate the thought of paying bigger bucks for BG as current feeder fish when I can get cheaper feeder fish instead.
