If you really want to make sure they stay on feed as best you can, optimize feeding aggressiveness, and improve the number of young YP that become pellet eaters then hydrate the feed. For the features and details of hydrating pellets, see my article in the past issue of PBoss magazine (May-Jun 2008 -Special Edition Feeding Fish), "The Softer Side of Feeding Fish" p48-50. When using softened pellets, even a 4" YP can eat a 1/4" pellet. Softened pellets are very helpful for feed training most all species of fish.
