I had been trying to use pellets for my bg's, most of whom appears to be in the 4" range for months. Few would try it and it seemed like a decent portion would spit it back out.

So I decided to try bread. They are killing the bread and producing the "boiling water" effect. I am still tossing the pellets in for the huge catfish and the grass carp. The turtles also eat the pellets.

Is feeding the fish with bread bad? It appears as though some are taking the pellets after is gets soggy when they finish the bread.
