Help!. Members with coppernose bluegill; we need your help. A lot of the previous photos of CNBG have been lost due to the Photobucket policy change. Would you PLEASE look for some of your pictures of CNBG and post them or provide a link to them on the forum for our photo records.

scott69 - You mention - "it appears that their fins may be what has more of a yellow tint...."". Are you positive that you stocked only the pure CNBG bluegill into the new pond??. Did you hand select them or buy them from a fish farm? I do not recall that CNBG have a noticeable amount of yellow on their fins. What I can now find on the PB BG pictures the only fins that may have some slight yellow tint are the pectoral (side) fins. IMO the pelvic (lower) and anal fins rarely show any yellow. Hybrid bluegill HBG commonly have yellow on the pelvic and anal fins.
