Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Bream feed?

My preferences between GFC and Aquamax is based on what species I'm trying to feed and which ones are actually present and eating. When my CC and Shiners were eating 80% or more of what I fed, I put in GFC. I don't think either of those two fish need higher protein feed to thrive and paying the price difference for Aquamax didn't seem worth it for the small % of feed that the BG ate, even though the BG were my primary target.

Now I have BG and LMB eating most of the feed, and I feed Aquamax 500 and 600 mixed. I think that BG and LMB both do better with the higher protein % in Aquamax, so it is worth the price difference for me to feed it now. The BG are still my primary feeding target; I think the bass concentrate on the small number of 600 pellets and that gives the BG more opportunities to eat the 500 sized pellets (although the biggest BG also prefer the bigger Aquamax 600 pieces). If the bass were the goal I would be using (some) Aquamax Largemouth.

It I also my thinking that 500 and 600 are different sizes of the same stuff. I think our local mill charges the same for both sizes, but I have not bought both in the same trip yet and am not positive on that. I will probably be getting one bag of each after I get back from Arlington and should know for sure then.
