Purchased 400 adult YP yesterday from 6-10" and selected and caged 300 ultra gravid females across 3 cages. My intention is to select the top 10% for stocking into the BG/YP trophy pond. Fish were originally pellet trained until around 3-4", then released in grow out cell and fed primarily on FHM at the hatchery where they were raised. My goal is to try and get these fish to revert to pellet feeding. I tried AM 400 and hydrated AM LMB and used my AquaVu micro camera to verify NO FEEDING. I added 2 adult male BG in each cage, hoping they might help show the YP the way, but wanted some more direction. My only plan at this time to is continue to try and feed as often as I can visit hydrated pellets and hope they come around. Not feeling too confident in that approach. Cecil, Bill - any advice?

Thanks in advance.
