Another consideration is the size of the forage. Predators, like, bass, need forage/prey that is 1/4 to 1/3 their body size. It�s a matter of calories obtained vs energy expended. So, a �large� predator could actually starve on catching and eating small minnows.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
