SMB in one customers pond has about eaten all the RES and YP in the pond - not enough cover for the fish to hide in. The GSH and FHM were gone within the first 2 years of stocking the SMB, and only 50 were stocked in a 1 ac pond. Habitat is key to keeping a forage base in addition to stocking the correct number of fish in the first place.
