Following along. I’d like to see solutions to this. At least you didn’t do it to yourself on purpose. I actually stocked HBG. I was told they wouldn’t reproduce. mad
I have been removing them ever since. I was also told they wouldn’t bother swimmers. Agh!!


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
