Hi Jeff,

Don't know what you mean by mech feeding. An automatic fish feeder could be set up, and a relative could check on it once a week, or something like that, and that much may not even be needed.

I have never read anywhere on here as to it being bad to start off with FHM. Actually the sooner you add them, the better it is. If you go the SMB route, there are a lot of other forage fish that you will want to get going now so they are abundant before adding the SMB.
