I wonder how well the fry will establish without some offshore weed beds. Have you researched short forms of eel grass that grow in FL? Anyone know what types of habitat are present in ponds small lakes that have LMB and a resident population golden shiners?
Jim - from your pictures it appears that your pond currently has relatively clear water which indicates the zooplankton community is not as dense as one where the water transparency has a greenish hue and is 16"-2ft secchi disk readings. For open water inhabiting fish fry (pelegic) esp minnows-shiners to thrive there should be abundant zooplankton. GS are pelagic feeders. Have you taken any Secchi disk measurements in your pond? It would be interesting to know the pre and post lime Secchi disk readings? Adding lime should have enhanced the plankton community thus reducing the Secchi disk readings.
