H20 thanks for link , good info. I had no idea there were that many species.
Eastland, the problem is limited forage base that woudl not already be utilized by bluegill and/or bass. This is why molluks, mussels, snails are target meals that only the shellcracker might use to gain some weight.
Let me know how the experiment goes. Take a look at a few of them a week after transplant and see if they are alive. I'm just a little concerned if transplanting them is potentail to spread something I'm unaware of.
