If in the forage pond and they spawned, they would end up in the main pond. The overflow directly dumps into the main pond. Kind of purposely designed that way so anything I stocked in the forage pond hopefully some of the fry will end up in the main pond.

The pond I would more likely try them in would be my SMB/RES/HSB pond across the creek.

One thing I am concerned about is that a high water event could cause the YP fry to end up in the main creek a quarter mile away. Not sure if they would be considered an invasive species or if they are native or at least accepted to be in Kansas waters.

I don't want to put something in my pond that would cause problems elsewhere. So far everything in my ponds, with the exception of HSB which don't reproduce, is native or common to the area.
