If you feed the YP pellets you can add them in with the FHM, just buy twice as many FHM to insure enough survive to make good spawns - probably 6-8 lbs instead of 4 lbs. You can get some excellent long time domesticated pellet trained with several sizes of YP from Brehm's Perch Farm in West Liberty OH just west of Columbus. Tell them Bill Cody sent you. Buy the appropriate sized fish food where ever you get your YP. Both places should sell you 1/2 bag of two sizes of fish pellets if you buy some 7"-10"YP, they want 1/4 pellets. Smaller fingerling 3"-5" YP, HSB, SMB want 1/8"-3/16" pellets.

He has the same strain of YP as Brehm's. He said he might get some SMB this year. He usually has HSB. I've stocked in 0.3 ac ponds SMB,, HSB(8-10) and YP-HBG. With pellets this combo did very well. The HSB lived 21 years. Check with him.
SMB are fairly hard to find but you might get some this fall as 3"-4" fish. Yes as noted, make extra sure you do not put in BG or you will have to eventually add LMB to keep BG from overpopulating. BG are extremely hard to control with SMB as predator. The LMB will eventually eliminate your YP and SMB in 0.5 ac. To help insure you do not get any BG with the RES or HBG make sure you buy the larger RES 4"-7" better 5"-7" so you can closely see the margins on the gill flaps before stocking them.
