Yes, Bob has updated his genetics. He told me does so constantly in an effort to give his customers the very best fish he can. Very impressive fellow. By the way, he also sells HSB but prefers that his customers go with LMB.
"Reported" must be directed at me since I wrote about it on here. What he actually said and I wrote about was that he does not recommend Threadfins in small ponds and refuses to stock them in small ponds because he considers it a waste of the customers money. If you doubt my "report" call him yourself. I must warn you however, he may also tell you what he thinks of those who sell threadfins to small pond owners repeatedly in attempts to get them established.
Back to Tilapia, which is what the thread is about.
Yes, back to Tilapia � Since you were quoting Tyler Fish Farm, I was interested if Waldrop shares our enthusiasm for them, as well as HSB, which you have expressed your passion for them many times.
I am aware that he is recognized as a LMB authority.
I was not aware that Tyler Fish Farm handled HSB.
When I first sought stocker HSB he did not, but gave me a contact in his area.
Does he have the resources to grow them out?
He was not interested in them three years ago.
As for as your quoting secondhand information regarding TF shad in small ponds, I don�t believe that reputable dealers engage in running down their competitors, especially those that advertise in PB magazine.
