And yes, I will absolutely be aerating.

I guess this all brings me to a more refined question, though -- do I have to make a decision between LMB and YP??
In other words, will LMB trample on my chances of successfully raising YP by overfeeding and preventing any spawning YP from reaching maturity?



In my experience LMB will eliminate YP in most ponds unless heavily managed.
