Well, can I chim in? They came in young looking pretty slim, but I recently netted 2 out of the pond and their bodies have gotten taller as well, but with nice green color and yellow tail! I have a large putitora that is long and slim. If the ones I got last year were indeed no putitora, then its even more of a myth to what they reall are. Wait until I get pictures of mine or you get better picture of yours.
