Any one have any thoughts on the feeding. I just stocked 3-4" BG and want them to thrive. AquaMax 500 to big? I thought of mixing 400 and 500.
Good feeding times and quanity?


I have stocked 3-4" bluegill the past two springs, and have fed nothing but Aquamax 500. They have had no problems taking it, although I always start them off by soaking the food first. (Obviously limited to hand feeding) I place the food in a ziplock bag, add water and turn the bag to coat the pellets. Not too much water, you don't want "gravy" in the bottom of the bag. Let it sit for an hour or so. It gets soft, and you will have fewer fish rejecting the pellets. 4-5 weeks of this, and the BG will be used to feeding on the Aquamax and you can "wean" them off the pre-soaked food. I find early morning, and right before dark the best times to feed.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
