Thanks for all the replies. I wouldn't have an issue with the GSF if the other species were already present. My concern was with the GSF getting such a head start on everything else. The HPBG will not be available until fall. Unlike many fish, you can't order a particular size. What's available when it's your turn is what you get. I have ordered CNBG and RES as well as a few more fathead minnows from a local fish farm. I will get a reduced amount oft he HPBG in the fall. The pattern may be diluted in initial breedings, but over time as they cross back there should still be colorful individuals from time to time. I will have to base the bass stocking time and size on what the HPBG size is once they arrive. Hopefully the CNBG and RES can keep the GSF in check until then.
