This all sounds reasonable.
I have some feed trained RES in two aquariums and neither are showing any aggression. They also have larger more dominant tilapia in one tank and blue gill in the other so maybe they just havent had the chance.
I still have my light period at 12 hours and the water is room temp ~70. Once it warms up outside and i can move more fish into my outdoor tanks, I will start a thread because i may need help sexing my BGxRES and RESxBG breeding pairs. At which time i will heat the aquariums closer to 80 degrees and expand my light to 16 hours. This year i have an algae and zooplankton strategy so hopefully i can keep the larva alive.
Oh and not to derail, i will be able to report better on my limited, small sample size RES behavior.
