Hi all, I am working toward understanding all the pond management stuff as I go. About 5 years ago my pond was stocked with what I thought I remembered being HBG. I struggle understanding the differences from the BG and HBG. Which are these? I will also trap some baby as well. Based on what I see as a spawn I am wondering if these are indeed BG.

The first 2 pics are BG the third is a HBG IMO.

HBG is a cross between a BG and a GSF.

4 and 5 are BG as well.

Where did you get your fish ?

And sorry if the pictures are a bit off I had my "helper" so things got a little hectic as she helped with the pictures.

Thank you ewest. so it sounds like I have a mix... of HBG and BG. I kind of expected that based on what all I had seen and been learning.

I will need to look back at my notes on where I got them. I am in SW MO it may have been actually about 7 years. My wife (at the time) picked them up.

I have LMB and CC as well and they seem to be keeping the numbers in check.

I will keep watching.
Dave

Agree with ewest. One HBG in the photos.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
