I wasn�t having much luck with the search function on the topic, if you had a specific list in mind you would recommend, I�d love to read up on it. I�m most likely not going to try it, as I�m planning an �alternate� species pond for myself, and it�s the type of thing I would want to be very hands on with if I did. Just curious if others had done any tinkering with genetics. What you�re saying makes sense about the local species being better suited for sure. Thanks all for weighing in
