due to my fish kill, i bought 200 and put in my cage. several of them died, maybe 30 or so. i think their death was unrelated to my fish kill. according to the autopsy my pond fish died of an opportunist bacterial infection. likely due to overfeeding/overcrowding. the fish that i bought to put in the cage had some type of fungal infection. there were large white masses growing on their upper body mainly near the dorsal fin. the surviving ones are growing really fast. i hope to grow these out large enough to escape the bass. i may buy another 200 as soon as these are released. it looks like survival of my adults was almost zero. i may keep adding until i see good activity at my feeder.
