Looks like there are actually several what are considered "higher quality" fish chow brands on the market. How big a factor is the shape of the pellet when selecting a chow to feed your pond? My experience is my small 2 inch BG can eat a much larger pellet (in my case Optimal BG Jr), by mass, that is a small diameter and cylindrical than they can a round pellet (in my case Sportman's Choice) of equal diameter. I am amazed at how long a cylindrical pellet they can eat if they can get the end in their mouths. Is one shape more tantalizing to the fish? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to feeding a fish one long skinny pellet instead of 2 or 3 round ones? Is there any science involved in the shape or is it all ease of manufacture for that particular mill?
