anthropic - the only real goal is to extend the life of the pond. I was surprised how many LMB there were in it, and more surprised that it was supporting a couple of giants.

I wouldn't fret over the money spent to restock as much as the time, and even then. long term viability of the pond is the goal, so we may just have to do what has to be done. hahahaha. Thank you both for your advice. It's incredibly helpful.
