Very interesting thread and educational for me. Here is some of the "rest of the story".
I went onto the Tyler Fish Farm website and found that the person there that convinced 'trophybg' to buy 300 CNBG for a 1/20ac went against the TFF's standard recommendations. Here is from their website:
Coppernose Bluegill & Redear Sunfish Mix (15% Redear) 1"-3" $300 per 1000/ac. 3" to 5" $75 /100. Suggestion was for all sizes of ponds and for both sizes of BG to stock 1000/ac.
This 1000/ac equates to 50 BG to be placed in a 1/20 ac pond. Also note the fish of CNBG listing is said to very likely have mixed species of BG and RES and maybe even some hybrid BG(HBG) could be present.

TFF does not list fish food for sale so one does not know what brand/s of fish food TFF uses to grow fish. This is not the same as Overton's who advertise and sell Cargill fish food to customers.
