I understand they are 2 different fish but will either of them be bad for my 2 acre pond? I still only have cnbg,res,and lmb. Every now and then while fishing Lake Sam Rayburn here in East Texas I catsh one. Usually only about 1/2 to 3/4 pound. They are so beautiful and fight so hard I was thinking of bringing some home to my pond. Pros and cons please?? Don't want to screw my pond up.
They are four different fish in my parts as we have Ozark and Shadow Bass close by in addition to Rockbass. My assumption is you mean Warmouth
Lepomis gulosus.
I have had them in ponds and lakes with other species numerous times. They generally restrict themselves to heavy cover when the other species are present. They generally do not cause problems of the morphologically similar Green Sunfish.
