HBG are most certainly able to reproduce... the benefit comes from the initial stockers (F1's) severe male bias...90-95%.

I know you don't want to feed, but are you after a self-sustaining population of fish, or are you willing to periodically restock?

If you don't want to restock regularly, I like the LMB, BG, CC scenario.

If you're willing to replenish the fish as they're removed, I like HSB, HBG, and some CC...BUT in my opinion, both combos will benefit greatly from supplemental feeding.

Whatever you decide, I would probably add some RES to the mix.


"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.
