Will be feeding 2000cnbg 1-3 inch...400 res 1-3 inch... 30pounds fhm. Brand new 2 acre pond. How long will 50lb. bag of food last if feeding every day. Supposed to get my fish February 18th.
If you come up with a total weight estimate of each fish X number you will be feeding anywhere from 3 to 8 percent of that total weight per day. (Obviously you already know what your fatheads weigh.) Lower water temps lower feeding percentage. Then obviously figure out how many days it will take to use up the bag from there. If you are using Aquamax there should be a guide on the bag.
I.e. Let's say hypotheticaly fish weight present is 50 lbs. 50 x .05 (5 percent) is 2.5 lbs. per day. You can take it from there.
Or you can feed at the same place everyday and once you get consistent feeding of all they will eat in about 10 or 15 minutes, figure out how much you will fed them per day until you run out.
All that said I think that bag will probably last you a good month or more.
Anybody else want to chime in?
