Shorty asks -""Do the top two RES look stunted?"" Yes I think by the size of their eyes in relation to body size they are somewhat stunted. This could be a common occurrence for the larger RES if there are not enough of the correct foods in the culture ponds which usually are overcrowded with fish so some RES stunting of larger individuals is very likely common for certain fish farmers. Not all fish farmers raise fish the same way. Locate good reliable fish farmers for your quality stockers - it is probably worth a little extra money to get better stocker fish.
