Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding high protein feed

Newbee - Your catfish are going to grin like the instant gremlins if you fed them the Aquamax. By the way it is 41% protein; see the tag on the bag. Great price, no it's a fantastic price if it is not older than 1 year; best if it is only 4-8 months old. See the bottom of the bag near the tag for a producion date; just as with some beer. It will not, to your inspection hurt your catfish. Catfish are not usu. fed this food because it costs more and they appear to grow the same rate with 32% or less. Most people/fish raisers esp commercial ones are only interested in cost and most bang for the buck.
Try and notice if your fish are eating this new food better or more aggressively. I 'm sure you will notice a difference. Newbee, you have an assignment, let us know what you find out after feeding Aquamax (blue bag for carnivore)for several days or weeks. If you have any bass in the pond you may find some of them will start eating it too as time goes by. The bass may have to be retrained since they tried and learned not to like the cheaper food. BC

PS. Newbee, if you get Hyb stripers you have feed them Aquamax 600. They will be really sad if you don't. Wait till you see the stripers eat the Aquamax 500 or 600 (depending on the stocked size); get your raincoat out so you won't get wet from all the splashing.
