Not disagreeing at all. Posting for all readers (for context) to let them know that the forage has to match the need. Big predators need big forage and small predators can't eat big forage. Part of what mods are supposed to do is be sure when those who know a lot are discussing concepts (often complicated and science/experience based) that they (unexperienced readers) need to know the basics first. Most readers here don't even post and come here because they don't know about pond mgt. They are not ready to try advanced concepts until they have the basics. A do no harm approach - never want an inexperienced reader to try something they don't understand and get bad results. You would be shocked how many unexperienced readers just go out and buy extra forage and dump it in - not a good approach.
