Bought three different fish feeds today.
Sportsman Choice Trophy Fish (Cargill) (compare to Purina GFC with multiple pellet size for multiple species)
$14.49 for 25# ($.58/#) (Tractor Supply Co.)
36% protein, 4% fat
Sportsman Choice Floating Pond and Catfish Food (Cargill)
$17.99/40# ($.45/#) (Tractor Supply Co.)
32% protein, 4% fat
Catfish Supplement 32(sinking) Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC
$20.00/50# ($.40/#) (local Coop)
32% protein, 2% fat
Have previously bought the Land O'Lakes floating 32% from the coop and as I recall was around the same price per # as the Sportsman Choice.
They only had 4-25# bags of the 36% protein stuff. Would have bought more and none of the 32% floating if they would have had more. I like to mix in a small portion of the sinking food as I don't believe all my fish come to the surface for the floating and I like to feed some on the windward shore when it is windy and the floating just floats up on the bank, thus at least the sinking gets down to where the fish can eat it. I never feed a large percentage of sinking to make sure it gets cleaned up. Another TSC store is supposed to call me when they get some 36% in. It is marketed as a multi-species feed and has multiple size pellets kind of like Purina Game Fish Chow and I think is supposed to be Cargill's comparable product only the Purina GFC is only 32%.
BG and CC are my target species for the feed. Don't know if any LMB or RES are getting any. FHM also eat.
