""What about.....wait for it.....stocking HBG in the SMB YP combo? Would the smallies and perch be able to control the limited reproduction of the HBG? Both the perch and the HBG could be feed trained."" I've done that stocking combo plus with a few HSB added. It worked pretty good especially if the fish are fed pellets. An advantage is if the HBG are harvested and replaced with new HBG. Control of the young HBG will be dependent on how many SMB are present. Expect the HBG to eat some of the SMB eggs and fry which could limit SMB production depending on how many HBG are present. I think HBG will eat more fish fry than the YP because the HBG are more aggressive and tend to inhabit shallower water where SMB fry are seeking refuge.
