Your fish will probably slow down and stop feeding as the water temp drops from 60 to 50 deg F. You should reduce the amount you are feeding when this happens and then stop at maybe 50 degrees. Stoppiong earlier is OK, too. Remember fish metabolism slows way down when it cools off (for LMB, a 50% drop for every 8 degree cooler), so they will need MUCH less to eat in the Winter.
Thanks Theo - so what do they eat in winter down in there? I won't be able to feed at all from Dec thru Mar which is why I was asking about maybe stocking fatheads. Is it too late?
