I think oftentimes RES are not utilized to their full potential. It's common to hear of RES being stocked in a new pond, along with BG, as forage insurance. Or to help control, or head off, a possible parasite problem. And that's sound strategy on both counts.
But in both of those instances the RES are utilized in a supporting fashion, rather than a lead role. As Bruce stated, RES have the potential to grow larger than BG, they fight very hard on appropriate tackle, and they tend not to overpopulate and stunt....in addition to the whole snail/parasite thing.
Sounds pretty good to me. I'd nail a star on their dressing room door.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
