Cecil and others have learned if you want to grow more fish than the natural fertility your pond can produce, then adding fish pellets can fairly easily and simply allow you to grow more fish and larger fish. Relying solely on using natural foods, limits the carrying capacity of prey fish and predator to the fertility of the natural system which in many cases can produce less than expected or desired results to few fish or an unbalanced community. Increasing the natural fertility using fertilization for decent results can be tricky, require knowledge, and it can often cause unintended problems when performed improperly.
