I recently purchased some fish from a fish truck. I just wanted a few more RES so wasn't too concerned about where I was getting them from. When I met up with the fish truck on Friday, I found out that they had left the hatchery on Monday and this was their last stop before heading back. The fish were alive but very sluggish and not in great shape. If you could find out what order you are in terms of stops, that may help out a bit. It's been a struggle to get my pond stocked in Central Texas so totally understand if that's your only option.
