I've started the slow switch from the Omega One Pond Sticks to that. Right now they don't seem interested in either, very much, but atleast they eat all the Omega One, so far.

Once that's gone they'll have to eat the Aquamax until it's used up. I imagine if they're hungery enough they'de eat peanut butter sandwiches if I threw them out there.

Maybe they have plenty of food available in the pond, now. I'll keep it up to see if they get used to it.

Jsand13, I haven't thought about a feeder, atleast yet. I only have 160 BG & 20 LMB (1/4 acre pond). Right now a small handful is more than enough.





Hi Jeff

I like hand feeding - more efficient and IMO more fun - keep doing it while you can - you'll need that feeder sooner or later to take care of your increasing population. Condello taught me a pretty cool trick - once you get a few bruiser BullGills interested, you can actually lead them and get them to rise. Watching 12" BG rise to a pellet and take it down so gingerly is a treat.
