You should think about starting with one species instead of 3. They do get pretty big and they will more likely spawn for you in a less crowded pond, 300 gallons isn't that big. If you start with four fish most likely you will end up with at least one male and one female. Even if your experiment doesn't go well you would of learned from the experience. You can do all the research you want, but you will never know until you go through the steps yourself. I saw on aqua bid someone selling red eye bass. The pictures of the bass were from a pond. I am not sure if they were wild bass or pond breed. If you can find the ad see where the seller is from it might give you more insight on temperture.

I am starting with the Suwannee bass, and hopefully With the profits I can build another pond for redeye.

fish042099 I think its a great Idea to try and breed Redeye and Suwannee bass for sale as pets, I think it can be done and Im glad your doing the research before you give it a whirl. Don't listen to these guys their just being jerks....its always easier to try and tear somebody elses ideas and dreams down than it is to start your own. Tell all to Kiss your BASS and show'em by making it work....I would contact screenname Centrarchid at Nanfa forum.....hes an expert at breeding centrarchids.

Haha thanks. I'll get into contact with him.

Do you plan on getting a seller's license, or opening up some kind of store?

Let him take it one step at a time. First he has to get them to breed.

First you gotta set up a pond for them before you get the fish.
