Fish grown till about 2 years post-hatch. Trials ran only about 14 to 18 months. Repeated and will start another likely next fall.
They get up to about 1.75 lbs relatively easily when fed a 35% crude protein catfish feed. The catfish feed started when fish in the 3 to 4" range. The hybrids do great indoors. I am skeptical about how they do in ponds with feeding regimen we used. I think the hybrid may be impacted by RE side where they do not like coming to surface when light intense.
