Hey everyone, I called Keo fish farm today and Mike told me they have 10 to 11 inch HSB

And they have 6 to 8 inch HSB.

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,

Hey Eric,

I think that is what I will do. That will give me some smaller and some bigger. Maybe the bigger ones will see the smaller ones eating fish food and give it a try eventually?? I can hope anyway!

thanks,

I think there is a good chance of that happening...

I would try some of both as suggested. Can't hurt
