I have questions on two types of Sunfish Hybrids: BG/RES hybrid and GSF/RES hybrid.
BG/RES hybrid: Can someone verify or correct my understanding of these hybrids please?
Size will be favorable as both RES and BG can attain 2+ lbs.
Hybrid will assume more aggressive nature of the BG making it easier to catch than RES
Will hybrid assume the RES benefit of foraging on parasitic organisms?
Do F1 hybrids backcross? Is this an inferior fish?
90% of all hybrids are Male. Is this correct?
Any other information available on these hybrids, their benefits or insight on roles they can play in a pond?
GSF x RES:
I have caught around a dozen of these and stocked them in my main pond - they were impressive in size, aggressive, and beautiful fish looked somewhat like a Pumpkinseed on steriods to my untrained eye.
I neglected to take photos of these fish - and am unable to find any online. Does anyone have photos of this hybrid they could provide?
Thanks in advance....
