We've had a change in our weather the last few days which is finally bringing in some much needed rain. I've noticed that since this change started, the fish have been considerably off their feeding routine. Is this normal? Naturally it has been in conjunction with my switching to AM500 so I have to wonder if the feed change is to be taken into account.
Where all my feeding is done by hand I notice every time my fish are off feed.
A large inflow of water will definitely change their feeding habits. Sometimes for more than one day. If the water coming in is turbid even more so.
My sediment pond, well, is a sediment pond. So it gets large flow throuh of water at times and very turbid at times. That pond will go off feed for days after a large rain event. If the rain event is big enough for enough water to flow through the sediment pond and make significant changes in the main pond it will also affect the main pond feeding. But any changes in fish behavior is magnified in the small sediment pond.
