My next idea, I was thinking I would feed cheap food for a while tell the fish pick up on eating from a feeder then I would switch to aquamax 500/600 mix So I don't waste the good stuff anyone got thoughts on this
In my limited experience of feeding fish (when my feeder has worked) the fish will feed on whatever food is dispersed. I'd go with what you plan to feed from the onset.
My only advice is to not fill the feeder to capacity until you're relatively sure the feeder is functional. It's a pain and costly to remove feed from full feeder, once you realize the feeder is clogged/stuck or just generally not working.
