I think (don't remember) that I answered ML in an email. The hybrid we have has only been "fiddled" with for about 5 years. We have noted substantial decrease in reproduction, and we always suggest a predator when stocking. Seeing as how I am a SMB fan I would go with hybrid crappie, SMB, and gambusia in a small pond. Easier to manage that way. I don't do a lot of research with the crappie (working on a monster hybrid crawfish right now) so I can't offer a lot of info. Sorry!
