I still want to hear about the feeding them pellets, I heard it is very difficult to train them to take pellets, told I can't buy pellet trained RES, what gives? I have considered having them in my pond but I want to be able to feed them for good growth, and I think they will remove all the snails in a year or two so they would require supplemental feeding. I don't want a large population of puny RES, not with all the attitude they give anyway...
