What species of hybrid is a green sunfish

NOT a ringing endorsement for using THAT fish farm!

Contrary to common myth, the offspring of hybrids do not "revert" to one of the parent species. The offspring of hybrids contain a greatly varied mix of genes from the two parent species, so that some offspring may resemble either parent species, while some look more like the original F1 generation of hybrids.

If your BGxGSF Fx offspring end up all resembling GSF, you are likely managing your pond to encourage fish with mostly GSF genes over over those with mostly BG genes.

HBG can/do exhibit hybrid vigor (aggressive, fast growth initially) in the original generation but can/likely exhibit outbreeding depression (bad traits) in subsequent generations. In addition as a high % are male (66-98%) they do not reproduce in large numbers.

There are two ways to run a business. Maximum profit on every transaction, or provide excellent value for the money and develop a deep list of happy and dedicated customers.

All of the highly successful business people that I know, chose the latter approach within their particular industry.

I hope you have better luck next time!

My neighbors and I have banded together and created pretty much any type of fish we might want except HSB in our ponds can't find HSB anywhere here so it's just a matter of catching some of what we want definitely more fun than driving to pick up fish.

Still a bigger mouth than straight BG.

HBG only grow faster than BG initially - not over time. Remember that almost all HBG are male and if you compare 2 yr old HBG with 2 yr old male BG there is not much difference. HBG are more aggressive and that helps with catch rate even to the point of elimination.
