Message: [QUOTE="crsublette, post: 161189, member: 3847"] Yep, big fish eat little fish especially if not always fed. Fish meat protein in fish food is quite prevalent. There are particular fish though that are more willing to eat live food than flake or pellet fish food. Sunfish and weather loach are two fish I am told that prefer to eggs and fry; going to try them this summer. Other than out of concern of physical proximity causing the fish to hurt each other, the filtration quality determines the quality of the pond's ecosystem and thus how many critters the pond can support. Maintaining a healthy ecosystem is why filtration is used so it is always better to have too much filtration. When the critters outweigh the filtration, then bad things happen causing the ecosystem to fail thus death to critters. [/QUOTE]
