My 200 YP YOY in less than 200 gallons of water are now pushing 10 inches. Not sure one would even get that in a pond.
Higher water temps also make the fish hungrier and more apt to feed train.
Cecil post pics of those YP if possible.
Each fish species has a temp range from low terminal to high terminal. Within that range feeding and growth max at different points but not anywhere near either lethal extreme. To a point within that optimum range feeding activity is usually a little higher just below the max growth rate point which is well below thermal max. So higher water temps are good but only so far.
Cecil I know you know the above so it is intended for others who may not know about fish being cold blooded and how their growth , feeding and metabolism work.
