Thanks guys. Cost is no issue. Just want what is best for the fish.
10# per acre - I assume that is per day?
For my .4 acre pond that is 4 lbs per day max.
Assuming my TH is throwing a pound every 12 seconds my two 8 second feedings are 1-1/3 lb a day.
Maybe I could safely bump it up to 12 seconds in the morning and 12 seconds in the evening and feed two pounds a day and be at half the max?
I do have aeration if that helps.
The pond is couple hundred feet from my back door and I go out there daily. What do I need to be watching for to know if a problem is cropping up other than dead fish floating up?
When we stocked it about a month ago I think we had too many catfish in the cooler we transported them in and around 60 died in transit. Over the next couple weeks we saw 3-4 catfish a day floating up but have yet to see any other dead fish. The catfish mortality stopped last week we had not seen anymore. I think they were just stressed too much from the trip.
