That is encouraging. I'll nix the egg transplanting idea and try to build on the breeding pool idea. Perhaps something like a 12 ft dia 15 inch high kids pool with a sandy/gravel bottom for 3 or 4 of each species. Once hatched, remove the parents (to prevent cannibalism) and feed the babies with brine shrimp until large enough to accept small feed. Then transplant into grow out pond.

Something like a modified version of this; It even says sunfish in the name. grin
