Unfortunately many people are very susceptible and they can imagine all sorts of things. The data I've seen is that triploids don't typically grow faster than diploids in the same body of water. Sure I've caught some nice football triploids. But I only knew they were triploids because no diploids were present.

I really think if you were to show me 10 rainbows some being diploid and some being triploid I could pick which is which. Like I said every reference I could find say they are the same but I think they are visually distingushable.
Ok Test...diploid or triploid?
You know that's not fair! But I'll take you up anyways.. Diploid, Diploid, Diploid, Triploid, Triploid, Triploid, Triploid.
I did this test with my son and nephew who thought they could determine white from orange Cheez-its by taste. My son thought the orange tasted better and my nephew thought the white tasted better. Blindfolded my son was right of 4 of 8. My nephew only got 3 of 8 right.
Hopefully I do better than 50/50.
