Gambusia. From your homework will LMB and Warmouth (WM) be fertile at the same time in your area?
I looked in my limited literature and could not find any reference to WM X LMB hyprids. Ewest may be able to help with this topic if he see my suggestion. Does that hybrid exist or have they been created in the 'lab'?. Since you are trying to cross fish of two different genera (Lepomis & Micropterus), I question how many of the eggs will hatch and of those how many will exhibit some sort of deformity. Tradionally eggs of this type of cross have a very low hatch rate and when a hatch even occurs the percentages are low (0.5% to 20%). Then getting young that may have genetic problems to survive could be dicy. I am interested in your progress with this project.
