Fenders is usually pretty good about placing the correct number and size of fish in each boxed oxygenated bag pkg. Be sure to let them know of how long the trip home will take put then in the air conditioned car on the way home not in the sun. Ask about a live arrival guarantee. I have never seen black spot on Fenders fish which are usually pretty 'clean'. They usually have RES in the waters where they grow the larger fish. This eliminates snails and most fish parasites. Often fish farms sell fish on the small side of the advertised size range. Fenders fish are usually in the middle sizes of the advertised size. I have been pretty happy with their quality of fish over the years. They strive to maintain their good reputation. If you but the larger BG from them,,,,post some pics of the fish for others to see.

I am curious/nosey what they will say about using mostly males for your project. Don't forge to ask them about it.
