Stick with the SMB for your small pond situation. Overall they will perform better, including not overpopulating. On pellets & some small fish they can grow to large 18" maybe 19" sizes if you don't have too many. If Laggis sells a minimum of 50 SMB then split your order with canyoncreek, both benefit, win-win. I'm not sure Laggis still have pellet fed YP in fall. If he does you can get the SMB and some YP then. If you add 25-50 YP I suggest you then reduce the number of HBG by 1/2.
