Notice and compare the mouth size and premaxillary thickness on the two above (RES) fish are apparently larger than the first two fish posted by Sprkplug. To me this suggests that neither of Sparkglug's fish are pure RES. Size and shape of premaxillary is probably related to the RES's specialized feeding habits of selecting and removing snails - mollusks.
