I have seen low recruitment of SMB and YP in my pond with the presence of GSH, recruitment of RES has not been an issue which I find odd, no real explanation for it. I initially stocked 70 SMB in my 1/4 acre pond with a goal of being predator heavy and the had an unexpected SMB spawn shortly after stocking. This far down the road I am worried I don't have enough predators in the pond to keep the GSH under control. I have removed 106 large GSH in the last 2-1/2 weeks and will continue thinning them down this fall.
