Poor water quality management encountered so far.
How much impact does individual variations in markings have on the cross? I noticed the pumpkinseeds spots took over so I assumed the cross used a heavilly spotted pumpkinseed, but I have also seen dull greenish pumpkinseeds without much spotting and dark pumpkinseeds with bands on them. Would pumpkinseed coloration dominate the cross if other color phases of pumpkinseed were used?
