   Stupid question popped in my head. People cross breed exotic cats and dogs and horses, do they also do it with insects and spiders?
   
   It's insane when you distance the question from people to animals, suddenly they sound like they're reading a script from an episode of Murdoch Murdoch.

     @Elliptica @GrungeQueef in texas all but one lake is manmade so the fish in it are really dealer's choice...since we have no native lake fish...what else are we gonna fill them up with??? mostly wipers/ striped bass and black bass (large and small mouth and spotted bass)...we have a native black bass species (guadaloupe bass)...but they are little nerds who hang out by rocks all day...and we have white bass but they are generally smaller than their wiper and striper cousins...for big lakes we have to fill in the ecosystem gaps...

     @Elliptica some of them are sterile so they won't breed. tiger muskie and tiger trout are sterile. splake trout and hybrid striped bass can back-cross with any of their parent species and create 25-75 F2 hybrids but generally don't.

     @Elliptica fish and game departments create fish hybrids and stock them into waterways for sport fishing all the time - e.g. tiger trout, splake trout, tiger muskie, hybrid striped bass (wiper), etc.
