It all depends if there are predators in the pond large enough to eat them, and if there is more cover than needed for them to escape predation.

In a 1 ac pond I stocked slightly over 200 GHS that were 9" and larger. The pond wasn't bass crowded, but it DID have a bass population in it. They were all eaten after 2 years.
