I have them in my less than .5 acre pond. Stocked 75 of them in May of 2022. I have them ranging from 6-9" and haven't seen any yet that are at a good relative weight. Most seem slim, the larger ones eat pellets but incredibly slowly. I have a strong population of GSH and some SFS as well, so they may just be outcompeted by my HSB and YP. I haven't seen much recruitment, which is what I was hoping for.
