This brings up another question. Say you have a pond that is at the edge of the Northern range of CNBG and the edge of the Southern range of Northern BG. Both will perform to their potential in your hypothetical pond. Which one do you stock? Is one more desirable than the other?
As far as I know, there is no edge to the southern range of Northern BG. They will survive just fine in the same climate as CNBG.
