I will go with regular hybrids if this is the case that they are 50/50.


Here you go. Avoid all the speculation and 2nd hand thoughts from people that haven't actually had them in their ponds and seen them reproduce. This is right from the source that Jones gets their fish from. You can also call the hatchery directly that produces the fish and ask them. (Jones does NOT "produce" the fish, just like your supermarket doesn't grow your produce)

We are a licensed distributor for Glennon Fish Farms just like Jones, and as part of the licensing agreement we cannot divulge the species that are crossed to make the Specklebelly Bream.

If you want to call Glennon, their phone number is 501-676-0207. I would call vs. email because it is the busiest time of year for them, and getting a reply via email is iffy. Bobby is the owner.
