teehjaeh57 in this case the cross would need to have pharyngeal teeth/crushers to eat the snails. I don't know if that gene/trait is included in any of the RES or PS Xs.


Great point Ewest. I am planning on dedicating a .2 acre watershed to RES/BG hybrid reproduction. With Bruce's help perhaps I can help document what traits are passed along...I'm hoping large size of a RES and aggressive nature of a BG - but the pharyngeal teeth would be a big bonus trait to pass along...
