I doubt that the CC have spawned. You're just seeing a variable growth rate. Some fish, no matter what the species, will out hustle the others and grow quicker.

I alluded to it and Larry Bozka said it. You're biggest concern will be over spawning. That can lead to real water quality issues. You might consider aeration.

Your bass will convert forage to weight and size gain at a 1 to 10 ratio. In other words, it takes 10 pounds of bluegill, minnows or baby ducks to put one pound of weight on a bass.

If it were me, and it's not, I would try to control bass reproduction. That means don't name them. Don't under feed the CC and BG.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
