I just read something concerning on the Aqua Max Purina site. It is recommended to feed trout 10-12 times a day, for Aquamax 600 as shown in the link below. Is this the recommended frequency for both automatic feeders and hand feeding? That is way too frequent for our schedules to hand feed the 25 RBT I was planning to get delivered next week. I do not have a automatic feeder (yet), but I guess I better plan on getting (one before stocking any RBT). I was planning to feed 1-2 times daily by hand until I read the chart below. Maybe I better hold off getting the RBT until I research feeders. I was not planning to get one yet for my 0.13 acre pond. Other than the RBT, I have a couple dozen FHM in the pond. http://aquamax.purinamills.com/trout_chart.html Is this the recommended feeding frequency for both automatic feeders and hand feeding?

That's for trout farms where raising the fish as fast as possible is the plan.
I feed mine during the winter once a day.

Thanks esshup! Once a day was what I was hoping, but didn't want to starve the fish.

I'll keep adjusting the feed that is dispensed so it isn't more than what they will eat in 15 minutes.
