Norm, your advice on genetics appears sound, something I have not spent much time considering. The Peacock Bass that I have in my pond were released from three different broods however would not be surprised if the bloodline is not awful narrow. Though you probably have not spent a lot of time on the subject of PB, for fish in general, would you suggest that I pay particular attention to any genetic irregularites and cull accordingly?
The PB have started spawning in May, should be catching their offspring in the next few months...thought a good chance to get the question in while the subject is HOT!!!
