Actually Tony, I think Ron Allen posted that pic of the two "hand painted" BGs. I wonder what would happen if you tried to breed these fish? Would their unique coloring and markings change back to look like a "normal" colored BG? Transplanted coppernose retain their coloring. I know we capture brightly colored tropical fish in Central/South America and then breed them in the U.S. for the tropical fish market, and they retain their colors, so who knows... Bruce, why don't you acquire a few hundred of these adult fish for your pond and try breeding them? Then we'll put a few thousand fingerlings in Lake Perris! Ha!

Info from "Pond Boss Magazine"... "distinct subspecies of bluegill commonly referred to as the “hand painted” bluegill. Because it is not a scientifically recognized subspecies it has no subspecies name as of yet. The hand painted bluegill is endemic to the Apalachicola River drainage. It is a strikingly colored bluegill. It is bright red on the top third of its sides fading to more normal bluegill coloration on the rest of its sides. The breast area is bright red as well. Then the most interesting characteristic of the hand painted bluegill are large blotches of black on its sides. Most biologists do not believe it is the result of intergrades between the Florida(coppernose) and northern bluegill but rather some other events have created this unique bluegill. The Apalachicola River is a very special river in many ways."
