You are talking about snacks, I am talking about life sustaining food.
A pond is an ecosystem, you need algae's, pond weeds, lilies, irises, pond plants, insects, worms, to the "nth" degree. I learned about this in college years ago, the food pyramid, for every pound of fish, you need 10 pounds of level 2, 100 pounds of level 3, and 1,000 pounds on the bottom most level of the lowest food level, usually algae. Pond algae gets eaten by a snail, the little snail gets eaten by a minnow, the minnow gets eaten by a Blue Gill. For one pound of Blue Gill you need 10 pounds of minnows, 100 pounds of snails, 1,000 pounds of algae! The numbers get mind boggling. It's a whole lot more then some grasshoppers jumping into a pond.
If grasshoppers jump into a pond like you think, what do the minnows do if the grasshoppers are bigger then they are?!
