Lack of funding always seems to be my major stumbling block.

The HBG should be an interesting experiment. I'm torn between advising you to add a single LMB once you detect signs of spawning, or cutting back on the feed and letting them consume their own offspring. Of course with 30 fish you may not have over 2-3 females, so you could try sight fishing them out, once they grow large enough to cause a potential problem.

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.
