For such a crappie name crappies sure get a lot of attention on here!
Here's another thing to add to the stew. I happen to know rainbow trout can and do feed primarily on zooplanton in lakes were other forage is lacking. According to literature I have see rainbow are supposed to be abl to get to 5 lbs or so in three years on a strictly zooplankton diet. Even lake trout can exist on zoo plankton but in that species their size suffers.
Of course that is lakes vs. ponds but I though it might be of interest that trout can also effeciently feed on zooplakton.
