Silvers won't attack the bream, and the bream will only attack the silvers when they are big enough which will be about 3-4 years

Duckpond's got silvers in a tank with his one reamining bream - the silvers are between half size to same size of the bream , most of the smaller ones ( like I told him snark snark ) are gone lucky I picked up that expensive bream food for him from golden ponds the bream doesnt seem to bother the silvers once theyre over half its size, looks like it grows slower too maybe put small bream in with same size or slightly smaller silvers and the bream won't ever catch up in size to consider the silvers dinner |

Thanks guys - pretty much what I thought. Yes, I know they're slow growing, but I don't care, they'll slot into my continual fish harvest concept beautifully ! |

That's if your net hasn't rotted away by the time they're ready...

The half life of Silicon... might still be shorter than the half growth of the Bream...
