kevinlp,

I don't know if you could get to the post that Rad provided or not (I can't)...and I don't know what it said, but bread does not provide the necessary protein for fish growth. It is just basically a filler.

Many have reported on here that it has taken their BG a good while to take to the pellets. In my experience, they readily take the pellets. Be patient and they will learn. I notice the small ones commonly spit out the pellets for whatever reason, too large, too hard, etc. but they eventually consume them.

Bread is not a substitute for pellets...if you are feeding for growth. If you are feeding so that you can catch more fish (under the theory that a full fish is more catchable than one not so full as stated in this thread), then I have no idea if bread works or not for that purpose.
