I've wondered about feeding or supplemental feeding (pellets), and I've always come back to "no". First was the issue of installing feeders. Then it was maintaining the feeders and hoping no trespassers would monkey with the feeders. Then it was thinking about am I running a factory pond or a natural pond. Then I thought what if I am feeding and the feeders break, the food runs out, etc.
This topic has brought that one concern to a very real light. I don't want to rely on man-made products for my fish. At least at this time. I hope y'all find the feed bags you need. If anyone is in metro Atlanta area there are a couple of shops that had plenty of feed couple of weeks back.
Heck basslover, feeding my fish is half the fun of having them. Talked about getting a feeder with my wife, but she was against it. She said I had too much fun feeding them by hand, and that a feeder would reduce my enjoyment.
They are like puppy dogs following me around the pond. An unnatural pond is quite ok by me. If it was natural it would be pasture (or native prairie) instead of a pond.
