My old pond is doing fine with them.

Where I think they really give fits is if a person thinks he only has FHM in a pond, then later when he puts BG and RES comes to the realization that not only there were FHM but GSF that have already spawned. If the GSF get the jump on the BG and enough are big enough to eat all the stocking size BG.............. then they can be a real problem. Cause if they ate all the BG and RES fry, well all you end up with is GSF. That is a little like what happened in my old pond. The GSF got the jump on everything else. I got ahead of them by stocking larger BG and LMB. Now the pond is fine.

But by the sound of things that is not your situation. Sounds like you have good BG and LMB, so I think you will be fine by just weeding out what GSF you catch.
