I agree. And that's one big reason that floating feed is preferred over sinking feed in some pond applications. I'll be the first to admit that I get a big charge over watching my fish eat....but I'm not there strictly to enjoy myself, I'm there to try and get a handle on my fish, in regards to how much I should feed. They don't eat the same every day, and by watching their reaction to the feed I get a feel for how much to give them.
