I've never observed one fish getting eaten by another when hitting feed, and it makes me sad because everyone talks about it!
I also never new what ewest posted about the HSB processing the carbs.
I think if you want some diversity in species, and are on a feed program, you've got to keep the amount of HSB down so your other desired fish can access the feed.
Obviously my Bass are still babies and can’t eat the BG yet but the moment you see a bass come out of nowhere and hit a school of feeding minnows it looks likes fireworks going off, minnows fly everywhere, they have even landed on my dock.
The BG just feed with no worries
I was under the impression HSB wouldn’t reproduce in a pond ? My predator count is very low compared to the pond size
