Hydrating feed - 07/06/15 01:42 AM
I've never bought into the idea of soaking pellets in water. I figured when they hit the water they got hydrated.
However, today I noticed that small BG would just peck at the feed but not really get any of it. The larger ones had no problem. So, I hydrated some AMAX 500 in a baggie for about 3 or 4 minutes. When I dropped it out near the shoreline, the 1 to 2 inch BG and GSF actually picked it up into their mouths and swam away with it. Quite a difference in enthusiasm.
I'm convinced.
