I've also read about that possibility Cecil and have concerns of it.
I'm still in my infancy of fish feeding so it is kind of an experiment on my part. Have not seen any floaters or sick fish yet because of it, but that does not mean there are not some. Been trying to watch and observe to see what happens. That is why I put the disclaimer in my post, that I did not claim I was doing the correct thing, just what I was doing.
Will quit altogether very soon for about the next three months.
Mine is more about observing the fish and their habits rather than what little feed I'm feeding for the amount of acreage and fish in the pond. If it helps anything, I think it will be the smaller fish. Maybe make them a bigger snack for the larger fish. But not enough total feed to make much of any difference in the total biomass of fish in the pond. More recreational feeding than anything.
As far as softening the feed, the size fish I see eating them are not big enough to take the whole pellet. So at least those fish are eating softened pellets because they can't get any off of the pellet till it softens up.
