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.

Notice the distinct emerald green streaks on the gill cover. the mandible is large extending to past the front of the eye. The pelvic fins when extended will be cream or light yellowish. aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine - America's Journal of Pond Management
