Here is a RES the same size as the other fish but with a quarter beside it. This fish is out of my forage pond which has RES, FHM and GS in it. I'll post this one back up in the other thread as well.
All that is supposed to be in this pond is RES, but now that I am looking at the picture (did not notice it in person) it looks as if it could have a touch of GSF in it. The orange tab is definitely a RES coloration and unlike the translucent orange border of a GSF. I'm going to call this a RES with the possibility of perhaps some GSF genetics in it. I have caught one GSF fingerling out of this pond out of 30 or so RES fingerlings to date this year caught with a minnow trap.
Maybe I am getting my GRES hybrids I have wanted without knowing it?????
Maybe I just have all mutt ponds.
Edit: 4-29-17 that fish is definitely a hybrid. I get about half and half hybrids and pure RES out of this forage pond. I have learned better to tell them apart since this post was originally made.
