They were mostly 2 - 4". Some 4 - 7", but to be honest, I thought they were all pretty much in the 2" range. Rex had to school me in fingerling measurements.

I did have a feeder going from April on. However, I did not buy a Texas Feeder, so I had several weeks while I was waiting for parts for my "other" brand.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
