Bill Cody,
Yes, my thinking was along the same lines when i heard it too. However, sadly he is the ONLY guy in Northern Arizona that supplies trout to private pond owners. Im afraid im stuck with him.

What scares me even more is he had never even heard of aquamax or even a commercial pond food in that matter.

However, Im very pleased with the fish he delivered to my pond. They are very healthy looking fish. But I have no idea what to look for in a healthy trout :rolleyes: .

Thanks - Jighead
