I stocked that fish (and 23 of its buddies) back in 2003 because she wanted some "color" in my bass pond. She got color. I'll show you another one in a minute. Teach a man to grow fish...

That ain't no goldfish! That is just a WV Perch. But, it sure looks delicious. If Bob and Todd get to our place early enough, we'll pull some goldfish (actually golden trout) and some of George's type of black and white perch ("monster striped crappie") out of our pond for dinner.

Don't blame him, as his father has been somewhat lax in regards to educating his children about fish species other than what swims in our own ponds.... There may yet be hope for the boy...... "Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Yea how did you keep the bass from eating them? How big were they when stocked? I like that comment "those fish escaped from the circus"!

And, yes again...it was a circus. When I stocked those koi, our feed-trained bass were about 12 inches long. And, yes, AquaMax fed fish. Teach a man to grow fish... He can teach to catch fish...

Also do they just in enjoy your AM Feed or will they eat other items as well? Just wondering as I have considered adding a few of them or Goldfish for my daughter to enjoy. Please let me know. Thanks
