I may have missed it if someone else had a post like this already this year but, I was wondering what others were paying for Aquamax this year. I paid like $32 for 50 lbs of 5D06/600 last year and it is up to $35 this year. Still cheap to me when I figure my daily cost, but I was wondering what other were paying this season.

Joe,

I paid $26.00 for the last bag I bought last winter of 5D05. I was a little unhappy it was already 2 months old though.

Fuel prices are probably what is increasing the price more than anything.

Thanks Cecil, I thought I remember others had paid less, I have to look for a bigger source than the local co-op, they must not handle much fish food.

I need to order some and I'm dreading it.

Nobody around here stocks anything but 32%.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I pay 34.00 per bag for AM carnivore. Raw product prices are driving the price up. Fish meal is a big factor in pricing of the higher protein foods.

AM 600 was 36.99 last week at Souther Ag. Largemouth was 30.99. Pretty expensive I thought. I'll be looking for another source.

Just picked up a bag of Am 500 this morning. $34 and some change.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Cecil, you're a lucky man being so close to the plant the Aquamax is made at....I pay $24 for 5D09 (Dense 4000), $29 for Aquamax 5D04 (400), and $38 for 5D00 and 5D01 (Fry powder and Fry crumble respectively).

I feel lucky looking at the prices you guys are paying. I buy from 2 places on island. Aquamax 2000 is $28 and $32.00. I'm sure shipping it in is not cheap!

RoadWar - I think the AM 2000 for Omnivore fish and is same as Gamefish Chow, both 32% protein although AM2000 (5D07) is one size pellet whereas Gamefish Chow is two sizes of pellets in one bag.

Paid $30.00 for a bag of Aquamax 5D06 just now. (600).

I ordered some 5DO3 and it's about $46.00 if I remember right.

Not sure what catfish growers in the south are using for feed but the feed is getting so high and competition so great from foreign markets some are closing their doors. The ones that are staying in business have to raise the price of their fillets, which is turning off their retail outlets such as restaurants.

Yes, it shouldn't be that much especially since we have a mill right here in Indiana. Sounds like my local Ace (China) hardware that has an unGodly markup.
