In normal #s and sizes HSB will not control BG in the south with or without feeding. With small ponds man can easily be the predator/balancer. HSB will eat smaller BG but BG over 6 inches are mostly safe from HSB predation. Does that help ?

Check your water quality first. Low alkalinity is not good for HSB.

Use the upper pond for HSB/BG if that is a choice. Do not stock LMB above the HSB (ie LMB in the upper and HSB in the lower).
