RES are Redear Sunfish. They are the only member of the Lepomis genus which grows bigger than BG. They also are virtually the only Lepomis that is not prone to overpopulating and stunting. As an added bonus, perhaps their favorite food is snails; by eating these they disrupt the fish-fisheating bird-snail cycle that several fish parasites must complete in order to show up as grubs in you fish. They taste like BG (wonderful).

As you can probably tell, I don't like them very much.
