I love watching them eat. Mine are finally coming to the feeder, after a year. Now I've got lots of YP tearing up the water as soon as the feeder goes off. Last year I had a handful, and mostly FYM. Now lots of YP, and I figure the HBG also.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
