I'm not the person to ask about stocking, especially since you don't have LMB in your main pond. Way out of my knowledge base.

One thing you might consider, grass shrimp. Probably would at least need some rocks for protection though. Grass or pond weeds would be best, but that is not likely going to happen quickly, so some larger crushed rock might suffice. Would also make good habitat for crays.
