I very rarely see a situation where I would recommend stocking HBGL. In one case recently I recommended some for a flyfishing enthusiast along with some HSBs as population control. He followed my advise, but later attended a pond management seminar hosted by an A&M extension fisheries specialist. There he learned NOT to stock HBGL because of their tendency to revert back to greens.
He paid me a visit and was somewhat uneasy and irritated that I recommended stocking HBGL. I think I eased his tension, but I'll avoid those bullets in the future by simply not offering HBGL.
