The hybrid bluegill, a cross between a green sunfish and a bluegill, is a fish that is stronger and grows faster than the regular bluegill. As a result of hybridization, 90 percent of the fish are males, reducing the chance of an overpopulation problem. This fish has the habits of the normal bluegill, but is more aggressive and more readily accepts commercial fish food.
The hybrid bluegill can be distinguished from regular bluegill by a yellow margin along the pelvic and anal fins. It also has a larger mouth than a bluegill sunfish. The spawning habits of the hybrid bluegill are similar to that of the regular bluegill, but the number of fry produced is not as high. Therefore, it is recommended that the hybrid bluegill be stocked at a 1:2 ratio along with regular bluegill to maintain a sufficient forage base. One-year-old fish range in size from 3 to 8 inches or more. They become sexually mature at 4 to 5 inches.
