Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Floating fish food doesn't

With all the fingerlings and minnows hanging around the cedar trees along the banks I started offering them some floating fish food pellets. All would nibble at them but until the water softened them up a bit there wasn't any real eating going on. So I, in my infinite ignorance took a double handfull, placed them in an old towel and beat them into submission (and little pieces). Then I walked down to the pond and offered my fishes a meal. The good news is that more feeding went on more quickly. The bad news is, most of my offering promptly sank to the bottom. Lesson learned. Floating fish food doesn't, after it has been pulverized with a Ball Peen Hammer!
