Thanks Eric and Bill...this is good scientific research - good information - seems they cross possibilities are pretty vast. I'm planning on crossing Male CSBG and Female RES...Has anyone done a study on the habits of the RESxBG hybrid, know it's effect on a pond, or overall desirability of a panfish? If anyone knows where to point me in the right direction I would be appreciative.
