Hybrid bluegill grow up to three times faster than bluegill. They bite a hook more aggressively and do not tend to overpopulate a lake like bluegill. They also bite during the winter when other fish won't. Bream accept pellet fish food. Hybrid bluegill are becoming popular for growing in cages and indoor tanks.
Hybrid bluegill are very attractive and do well in aquariums.
You can expect control of vegetation by the end of the 2 nd year when you stock 20 fish per vegetated acre. Grass carp can be expected to provide control for 5 - 15 years. They control algae, duckweed, submerged plants and most other aquatic plants. Therefore, they do not overpopulate ponds. These are the only minnows we usually recommend.
