Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Tryin to feed train LMB

Another option is to collect zooplankton daily from your pond and add it to the "holding pen". It will improve survival rate, but this method is feeding live food and your goal is feed training them. I think eventually you will discover what a lot of earlier testers have learned, best success rate for feed training LMB is to start with fingerlings of 1.2"-2".

Throw you some goldfish in that aquarium, they are recommended to startup an aquarium. They are the nastiest fish u can have and they cycle the tank faster than any other fish!! Plus they are very tough and can survive very well in a tank going through the cycling process so that it keeps gettin the bacteria needed from their waste. The gravel in the bottom are very important for this process also. I buy the round smooth landscaping rocks at lowes for my aquarium. The light brown looking ones, and rinse them then put em in the aquarium. I've seen goldfish survive in a new tank with tapwater. Goodluck, I may try this also in the near future, when will the bass be the ideal 1-1.5" size that was recommended???
