My fish supplier has all three, and I just don't know what to do. CC's are the cheapest, but he tells me that over about 2 lbs they start getting yellow fat in their meat. The Blue's don't have the yellow fat problem, and grow larger. They're a little more expensive. And, the hybrids, according to my supplier are much more aggressive than the other two, and grow much faster. Supposedly, they're so aggressive they can be caught on lures (I've caught CC's on lures before, but it is rare).

I've got a 3/4 acre pond (at least it will be when we get enough rain to fill it). I'm stocking with CNBG's, LMB's and some kind of cats. It is about 25% full now, and I've just pre-stocked 1000 FH's and 50 CNBG's because I coudn't stand it. They may all perish if we don't get any more rain soon.

So, what are the expert's opinons on the cats?

Thanks!
