That is an idea. It involves some minor risk as to moving the fish from one water to another. If properly nourished (either pond) then you want your best fish reproducing. However a warning - "best fish" is not always easy to tell. I would not want an over abundance of any single genetics in a pond (thousands of one source fish over several years). Bruce Condello did lots of excellent work using that concept on BG. Outstanding results. I think he would tell you that you never really know what "best" is. If you guess wrong and multiply that over and over by 1000 fish a year you have a problem. There is a lot positive to say about a very diverse group of "best fish".
