My bluegill have a feed conversion ratio of around 2:1.

Two pounds of feed equals one pound of fish mass. This is the conversion in my ponds. I don't know what it is in the Po'Boy tanks.

I'll bet the tank ratio is better. I'll have to do some calculating.

This brings up an interesting point. Feed conversion ratio in fish is a confusing term, because you are converting dry (feed) weight into wet (fish flesh) weight. A 1:1 ratio is really like a 5:1 ratio if you take this into account.

It's probably all the chicken feathers in the feed that keep it from converting better. ;\)
