Well, ok. I�ll leave well enough alone. For stocking 250, I sure have a lot. My SMB are no where near 4# though. I�ll keep removing every HBG I can. I mentioned in another thread about feeders that when mine goes off I see thousands of GSH fry in the 2-3� range. Should I maybe not feed, which would �possibly� encourage the SMB to go after HBG fry and GSH?
Biggest problem with HBG is swimming. My strain of HBG are very aggressive towards anyone in the pond.
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
