I'm kicking around the idea of adding 6-8 small (10-12") HSB to my HBG pond this spring. Just as a bonus fish, something different for the boys to try for. My concern is that they will dominate the HBG at feeding time, much the same way as CC would do. You guys that have BG and HSB together, do you see any issues in that regard? Do you feel that a program where raising trophy BG was the primary objective would suffer if HSB were added to the mix, even a small number like I'm contemplating?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
