NFC: Re: Re: Stunted fish growth and breeding
That didn't really answer my question Wally, but you do give a good point,
that maybe a stunted fish is not a healthy fish, I'm not sure I agree with
that only because I haven't read enough about it. In my thinking if a fish
eats, swims, and not to sound stupid here, but does fish things and looks
and acts healthy, stunted or not, it should be ok.
