Well, it's been 4 days on the new feed now and it seems that the fish are eating the food but not with as much vigor as they did the GFC. There could be other factors contributing to this but they are eating the same amount as I usually would feed. The pellets are a little bigger I think than the GFC. However, while watching the smaller fish, they seem to wait till the food softens slightly and then they nibble at it. I noticed the same thing with the GFC.
To clarify what is actually eating this, it is mostly my BG and Channel cat... Some of my young bass are starting to feed, but since I have an established pond many of my older bass don't touch it. They just terrorize the bait fish when they eat...
So far from my observations I can't really complain for the result so far and with a cheaper price tag too.
Very interesting thoughts on here for specialized foods for certain species but makes total sense if you think about it.
