Clear Creek is a larger farm and has a larger selection of fish than Rim Run Pete Fishery. As always quality of fish often depends of many variables even with large fish farms. Cedar Creek does have a live delivery guarantee about their fish which relates to replacement of fish that die. Ask about deaths replacement policy after stocking. Fish replacement is a good feature, however one should take photos of dead fish as a 'paper trail'. Very few fish farms sell shiners because are relatively 'sensitive' fish and are hard to handle during seining, hold, and haul for stocking. Shiners will often die quicker than other fish species when both are 'handled' the same way. Extra care and good experience is required to make money selling shiners. A lot depends on how well shiner survive the 'handling & hauling process'. First rule is to buy them during cool weather and cool water conditions.
