I know I still have a considerable number of 2 to 5 pound CC in my older pond. Some are albinos and I can easily see them. When I feed pellets (about 8 oz twice a day), only two large albinos (maybe 5 lb) and about two or three regular CC come to eat the pellets. I can see other albinos and sometimes regulars swimming around about two feet down under the pellets, but they never come up. About four or five CC are getting all the pellets that the big BG don't get. Is it common for CC to quit eating pellets once they exceed three pounds or so?
You've cut back on feeding? I did too, but still feed 1 can in morning, 1&1/2 cans in the evening. My can is an old ranch style bean can. I try to make my 50# last a month. I was close last month. I liked 4 feedings having enough to last a month.
