Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Delayed introduction of predator fish.

A little more info....I found this quote from Bill Cody in the archives which would make me think twice about introducing the LMB too late to control HBG spawn and F2 recruitment.

"Succeeding generations of HBG do not breed true and various mixed genetics of the parents will be exhibited. After many years of HBG inbreeding, the offspring can closely resemble either parent – IMO usually more outward traits of green sunfish."

FWIW It's that part about overtime you could possibly have a pond full of GSF type fish that would make me nervous about letting F2 get a good start.
