In the last year or two i have been taking my unused Golden shiners and dumping them in my pond, as food for my bass. The problem is the biggest bass (plural) in my pond are about 14 to 16 inches. while the shiners are growing to aboat 6 to 7 inches, and ther growth rate is increasing very dramatically. One last thing is why are some of the shiners Silver and the others are golden colored. Please give responses
