As you are learning it is not a good idea to stock fingerling bass when GSF are very abundant. GSF out compete the fingerling size LMbass for food. The stocker LMbass need to be at least 7"-8" long for good results of small bass survival and quickly get bass growth to out compete the GSF. Maybe get Basquatch to bring you 8 to 12 larger LMB 8"-10" long for your 0.2 ac pond.
