    Magnolia Crappie are a triploid hybrid (most are sterile) lab created mix between a male Blacknose Black Crappie & a female White Crappie. They are supposedly only stocked in small state lakes in Mississippi, because they are sterile & won't overpopulate. (Therefore, stocking them in larger bodies of water would not be of any value)

    There is no way to tell the difference between a true Blacknose & a Magnolia Crappie simply by its looks. Many people misidentify the Blacknose as a Magnolia Crappie because of that, and I clarify the difference by simply from where the fish was caught.
    Arkansas Game and Fish don't raise the Magnolias . Some other states and private hatcheries breed hybrids but only a few create real Magnolias as the hybrid eggs must be pressurized in a lab to create a triploid fish . ( hybrid with extra chromosome to maker it sterile ) Most true Magnolias are created for pond stocking to keep from over populating a small body of water .

    Good to know. Thanks CappiePappy! I have caught several of the Blacknose (I call them racing crappies) in my home lakes in Louisiana. Thanks for the education lesson.
