No offence with hybridization technique except.... that's all it seems to be to me at this point.. Biology is a non exact science that's why I love it, but you learn from the mistakes of other's.
Greg recommended the black crappie ,...which i pondered as well but .. couldn't refute so ... black crappie it is. I asked him the hybrid /black crappie mix question too ... outcomes are predictable. ....but i am one of those unpredictable types:) what if ???????????

I always hated the fruit fly lab:) Genetics was a "perfect " science that I believed in until my aunt started raising the Pekingese dog's:) lol .. And yes if I wanted I do have supposed access to a hybrid crappie supplier.


The scant research available suggested the hybrid characteristics fit my pond scenario well, but each pond is obviously a different story. GG will lead you well - this I know - and I am anxious to learn how your project moves forward. Please keep us up to date - this is valuable for the forum!
