Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations cage raised res eating pellets

You can try cage raising some RES using Optimal Jr pellets. Getting RES to eat artificial food is pretty tricky and being successful is as much luck and art with some science. At first for the first several days try mixing some chopped earthworms(bait store) or minced shrimp with the food. You have to get the RES eating to stay healthy before they form body fungus. I think the moist foods will help stimulate feeding of the RES. Report your resuls. Many here will find your project as VERY helpful information.
