If you have LMB especially young of year LMB they will soon significantly reduce numbers of Gambusia and with lack of shoreline habitat - cover the LMB could easily eliminate the Gambusia. Small bass love Gambusia. Clean ponds with Gambusia and hatchling LMB the Gambusia rarely survive more than 1-2 years. With bass in the pond they will keep the Gambusia very close, next to shore and in that area the Gambusia will eat very few eggs and fry of other fish. Return at the end of 2022 and let us know about how many Gambusia that you still see.
