In my relatively low alkalinity, infertile pond, I've found that threadfin shad survive far better than golden shiners. TFS only get wiped out in severe cold winters, but shiners completely disappear within six months. Probably because GS are prey for a much larger range of LMB. In ponds large LMB don't make a living on TFS. The main benefit to TFS is they are targeted by 1-3 lb LMB whereas GS are larger and are utilized by all sizes of LMB over 2 lbs. +-. Also due to the difference in reproduction and habitat choices.
