One inch , 3 weeks, 90 days , sinking pellets. You can do this see mail!!!! \:D


Here is some info. In error I stated that the brands were not listed , they are. Note that all 3 worked as length and wt. increased but that K slightly decreased for one brand.


Fish fed all three diets increased in total length
and weight (Table 1). Condition factors increased
for those fish fed Biodiet Starter number 3 and
Zeigler Salmon Starter number 4 but slightly decreased
when fed Fry Feed Kyowa B-250 (Table
1). Feed conversion ratios for redear sunfish
ranged from 1.33, for the Zeigler diet, to 3.28 for
the Biodiet (Table 1).


TABLE 1.—Mean feed conversion ratios (FCR 5 weight
of food fed/weight gained) and changes in total length
(TL), weight (W), and condition factor (K 5 105[W]/
[TL]3) for redear sunfish fed three different commercial
diets in 50-d feeding trials. Values in parentheses are SDs.
