Maybe you could refresh your RES genetics with an infusion of good stock from a reliable supplier? I have not thought of this. Hmm. I’m sure my original RES were good fish. They were not from NEMO. I got them from Rex (Rainman). He put in 150 in April of 2015. I have trouble telling the smaller RES/hybrids from pure RES. We also look at the gape along with the red tab. If it’s got a larger mouth, it doesn’t get back in the water.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
