Frank, I think it is safe to say that BG are consuming FHM.

Barracuda, the LMB are never going to eat your original stockers. they will never be small enough to be ideal prey .... but their offspring will. This approach you've undertaken will require that you to be diligent to ensure that the existing BG are well fed and in good condition and that the water can support the survival fry to lengths that will feed your LMB. This implies plenty of zooplankton to grow the fry into juveniles. The stocking rate of the LMB is also important. You want to be sure that there are not too many.
