He said though that the 10 plus inch HSB dont' seem to want to eat fish food at all? Or at least he can't get them to eat it. He said the smaller 6 to 8 are taking food fine. My question is would you get the bigger HSB and try to get them to eat food? Will they eventually eat fish food or no? Or would you get the smaller 6 to 8 inch and not worry about it? He said the 10 inchers are petty decent size already! I would love to get the bigger size but was wondering if they would take to fish food at some point if I worked at it? thanks, The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Maybe the bigger ones will see the smaller ones eating fish food and give it a try eventually?? I can hope anyway! thanks, The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth.
