I would not stock male YP. Why did you choose males?? They grow slower than the females and often the males are not as meaty as females. I doubt Jones can tell males from females at this time of year. IMO Change your order on pick up to mixed sex or just females if they can distinguish between the two.

IMO 35% protein is not good enough for YP unless that is what their YP are now eating. Aquamax grower 500 is a little small for 6"-8" YP. They can eat the AM600.
