I end up feeding it early in the season when Purena is not available yet and if I run out of better feed. I think it is not bad feed. My fish like it.

The first year I fed nothing but 32% floating and sinking catfish food because that is all I knew and all that was readily available without ordering it. My fish grew great.

32% catfish food is far better than no supplemental food at all, in my opinion. SC Trophy is 36% so better yet.

As far as filling up the pond because of more waste, stop and think how many bags of fish food at 100% inefficiency it would take to fill the pond up. It would take me at least a hundred years or more at the rate I feed, even if the fish ate and converted none of it. Imagine throwing out feed daily for the feeding season in a dry one acre pond without water and imagine how long it would take to cover the acre a foot deep (a foot of muck). That is at 100% INefficiency. Anybody good at math? It would take more than a few days........or years.
