Last June I was at a local fish farm and picked up some HBG.

Another guy was there getting some HBG and YP as well.

The manager said that the YP were all stunted this year due to overcrowding, they had too many. He also said they would overcome this stunting in short order once you put them in your pond and should grow normal.

He told me that he should have some nice ones by October, which would be 5 months of growth from the original stunted variety.

I snooped around the net and have not found any info that would indicate a stunted YP (if it really is stunted) would actually grow to normal proportions.

What do you think?
