Everyone has an opinion be it correct, wrong, misinterpreted, slanted, or biased. Final results tell the rest of the story.
Bill, all I was saying is that I disagree that it is a waste of his time. If the caged FHM spawn successfully there should be a benefit all other things equal. I doubt that minnows can compete for the feed with BG and LMB anyway. From that perspective neither of the first two conditions apply. First he can't feed them because BG and LMB won't allow them to eat much feed and Second, if the minnows aren't eating feed then they don't make the feed less efficient.
The seeded fry will have to eat natural foods. They will provide some unknown amount of forage depending on the average life span and it may not be a good value in the end if they are all consumed as hatch fry. Is this why you are discouraging it?
