Very few fish live to maturity but become prey as fry and up to a certain size. That size is determined by the other, larger, predators in the pond. That predation is mostly determined by the size and mouth gape of the larger fish.
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.
