I don't know that Lepomis cyanellus X Micropterus salmoides has been attempted. But it begs the question: why would you want to?

At one time it was thought viability of hybrids was somehow inversely proportional to distance in time to individuals had a last common ancestor. Therefore a genetics tool, especially when before some of the more powerfull methods now delveloped. Otherwise why invest all the time to understand phylogenetic relationships. Also ould be used to understand regulatory mechanisms associated with development / differentiation.

Is there a way to cross a green sunfish with a largemouth bass?
Thanks
Back on track.
An old professor of mine familiar with some work in Hawaii indicated largemouth and bluegill somehow cross naturally in one of the reservoirs. Neither species native to Hawaii and conditions relating to seasonality may be a factor. Such a cross in my eye would be by either sneaker male bluegill showing no respect for spawning largemouth, sperm drifting between nest during simultaneous spawning events or just a lack of morals.

I suppose it would entail stripping roe and milt
Basically for a hybrid game fish to stock in a private fishing pond
I suppose warmouth or bluegill could be interchanged for green sunfish but I think something with a big mouth would be best.
IF I can get a female largemouth, and that would not be hard, I could try to cross it with my male warmouth.
Make an interesting hybrid.

I mean a male sunfish (lepomis species) and a female largemouth black bass (strip of viable eggs)

Or is there another way to successfully hatch the eggs?
I was thinking of catching a female largemouth, stripping her of viable eggs at pond/lake side and taking the eggs home. Stripping the warmouth male of his milt, mixing it with the bass eggs.
Thanks

So once the eggs and milt are mixed can I then put the eggs in the aquarium with the warmouth male?

You have to be sure the bass's eggs and warmouth's milt are both mature when you strip them. How you would do that, I don't know; maybe Centrarchid can help you out.

Don't know if this hybrid are fertile or does this hybrid reach big size like the largemouth bass or halfway?
Also I heard rock bass can hybridizing with the sunfish species and crappies can hybridizing with them too....in the lab. But I don't know if this is true.

The green/largemouth hybrid in the link I posted looks like an interesting fish

How would I go about conditioning warmouth?

Just feed well and keep the temp up (72+) and he'll be ready to breed 24/7. Earthworms for some reason seem to get my fish "in the mood", so you might want to give him some worms every now and then.
