From what I have read and as a novice PB'er, the ingredient list of Game Fish Chow is different from Aquamax in a couple of "What is important to some" in that GFC is a grain/plant based feed and Aquamax is a "Menhaden" fish meal based product. Most pond fish the two above feeds were designed for convert more fish pounds per oz. eaten with a fish meal based as compared to grain based products. CC are a somewhat more tolerant of the grain based feed as far as conversion of feed to pounds of fish produced.
There is a size difference in pellets with the Game Fish Chow that will help feeding different size fish, but that is why Aquamax has 400,500,600,etc. sizes.
Bio load is another consideration,if one cares about that feed issue.
Of course the more one reads and studies feed there is even a political issue in the Fish meal(specifically Menhaden)world because we feed fish in the US and some parts of the world the Menhaden is a major food source for humans. Therefore politics and big swings in fish meal prices,bla,bla,bla.
The real choice in my mind is not even the brand of feed, but what your goal is.
Some studies, and I would think logic as well, would say fish grow faster with fish meal than grain soy based feed. But the political world and others want more feed coming from plant based products, for different reasons.
I am just a dumb redneck from East Tx. and I would still say that even at a higher price, the fish meal based feed products(higher % on the bag ingredient label) are better for growing bigger fish, faster.
All that said, I would still say, if you want more and or bigger fish, that some of almost any kind of feed the fish will eat is better than none. If you want the fastest growth and max growth of game fish then IMHO there is not a better feed than the Purina Aquamax feeds for management of fish.
Sorry for the long rant,I have read too much.
