Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding How much food is this gonna cost me ?

Well, my Wife and I did it ! We bought a lot on a 3.5-4 acre pond and now I have the itch to start feeding this young fish sense the lake was just stocked last year (BG LMB Cats) I don't have the budget for more than one feeder(wish I did) and was wondering how much food will I be going through in a month to help supplement these fish. Looking at the Texas Hunter. Any suggestions on theis one ??? Not really even sure what the food will cost? Thanks a bunch !

I would place some cover in 4-6 ft. of water and start hand feeding. If it looks like they want to feed there, then set up the feeder. The fish in your area will be in better condition than the ones thru out the lake.

Congrats Troy!

The amount of food is hard to determine. Generally, you should feed the same time of day, every day. Just feed what they can eat in 15 minutes. If you have multiple sizes of fish in the pond, I'd look into Purina Game Fish Chow. It's a little bit less costly than Purina AquaMax. You might have to call your local Purina dealer and see if they can order it if they don't stock it. If you decide to feed AquaMax, Ewest (and I) have had good luck mixing 500 and 600 together.

thanks for the help ! It is always appreciated.
