Would be interesting, but not really worth any significant extra time or effort beyond the normal observations at this juncture of my life (right now there are bigger fish to fry)
The shiner fry isnt rocket science by any means though, I just simply get em shipped in when they are born in the spring, pick em up at Fedex the next day when they open at 7 am, drive to the ponds and cut open the bags and let the fry swim out into their new homes. Later in the summer when I pull a seine or do an electrofishing survey there are thousands of shiners. Sometimes its best not to overthink or overtheoritorize a fish stocking situation.
