Dan, I've never heard of any fish eating cracked corn. Maybe some do.

Keep feeding. Sooner or later, they will figure it out. However, try feeding where the fish like to be instead of where you want to be. You may be more trainable than they are.

BTW, after 20+ years of messing with fish, I'm still trying to figure out why hatchery raised fish have to be trained or re-trained to eat artificial food. What do turtles know that fish don't?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
