Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Optimal feed

I use, and love, Optimal. But I wonder if the feeding was part of the reason I lost my biggest CNBG to fungus last October when temps sharply plunged. Maybe the feed helped prolong the spawn and kept fish in the shallows where they were most vulnerable to severe temperature swings.

Other than ceasing to feed around the end of September, not sure what else I could do.

PS My experience is that their tiny feed, say #2 and smaller, needs to be hand thrown. Gums up feeders after it absorbs moisture. Their giant, 1 inch LMB feed also needs to be hand thrown, and totally rocks for feed trained bass!
