Lou yes 2 lbs of food/lb of fish is close for bluegill. However yes there is a diff in fish food so that conversion would change. Main difff is % protein, pellet size and source of protein. Basically smaller pellet is better for bluegill. The high protein and % from animal protein the better the conversion. However also you have to consider cost. If paying twice the amount for 36% vs. Cargill 32% would you be better feeding twice as much 32% if it is all eaten? Probably, get it

Now is the diff in growth from the bluegill feeding?

1. Do you still fertilize the pond?
2. Still harvesting bass, if so how many lbs?
3. Gotten rid of weeds in the lat year?
4. Etc.

These measures all might contribute. No doubt you are doing some good. As a matter of fact walking the bank you are effecting more bluegill than you would have with the one feeder. I sell them but hard to beat feeding by hand in several places like your doing. Most folks don't make the time for this though. If you could take the walk in the morning and evening that would be even better. Hope this helped.
