Trust me, those things will eat themselves to death lol. But two or three times a day isn't terrible. Fishermen like that annoy me, if they killed them because their reason is that the bullheads are invasive that's one thing but just for disrespectful reasons is unjustified. People are quite the opposite in the US, there will be dead carp all over the bank because they took someone's trout bait.
Interesting thread. I've read bullheads have been introduced into many water bodies in Europe. IDK if they became invasive.
If they bite a non-baited hook, they are way too hungry - not enough food for them / too many of them. Hence the smaller sizes. If the reason is too many, that also means too much hormone in the water, which too leads to stunting and maturing at smaller sizes.

You are right. Kill fish in humane way. Poke it on head... what annoy me when i'm seeing live fish in bush
Glad they're doing well for you! They'll grow fast and will be competing with the Aro for food in no time. My juvenile Yellows are in a 30 long with some chubs and a green sunfish and they eat half the flake from the surface of the tank before the others can even get to it. What are your's feeding on at the moment.
They refuse all my pelet's. I'm feeding chop up fish and shrimps.
Ther favorit fish is european sprat. They go crazy for it. Including all my stock.

Mine have all grown about 1" per month it seems. Got my original yellow last June at 4" and now he's pushing 11". If yours are from a stunted population they may not get that big but mine was and he's huge for the fish from the area I caught him so it appears that stunted genes may be irrelevant in captivity given adequate care.
I'd think stunting is possible but unlikely to occur with fingerlings and is not hereditary AFAIK. But development of a living organism is a highly convoluted biological process, subject to a slew of variables. We appear to know very little about it.
