The difference explained to me by my fish farm was their "tuffies" are tank raised and 100% FHM. The "regular" FHM are pond raised and can be part stickleback. I bought the regular and did see several stickleback when stocking. I considered it no big deal and stocked the stickleback too. That was in 2014 and I've never seen a stickleback since. I've also seen "tuffies" sold that are rosie reds (the pink strain of FHM).

The initial stocking in my forage pond was aboul half rosy reds and half regular FHM. After two years, there are very very few rosy reds. That color must be a recessive trait. ??

Perhaps the pink color is more easily preyed upon. Anybody ever evaluated floating waxed cardboard for FHM egg laying in their pond?
