Your numerous predators will not grow very fast after the 2nd or 3rd year when they "hit the wall" due to lack of forage. Likely the flatheads will be the dominant predators and eventually eat every thing else. SMB will not reproduce and be gone when they die of of old age in presence of tiger bass. Grass crap in a new pond quickly run out of food and will prevent all natural habitat, cause turbidity and lack of plankton. You are better to use tilapia in a new pond rather than GC. Georgia giants will attack swimmers.
