Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Feeding Bullheads

I've gotten back to researching the Black Soldier Fly Larva Generator.

There's an outfit out of Texas that has gone as far as providing everything to start your own system, to selling live starter grubs (maggots), to selling dried product for feeding to chickens, fish, pigs....whatever. The dried product is listed as having 43% protein, 28% fat, 1.1% calcium and 0.7% phosphorus.

That's as good (or better) than most feeds you'll buy from your local co-op, at the cost of a couple of containers (if you DIY it), a cup of live larva (purchased for starter), and whatever food scraps, garden refuse, even your pets' poop. After the initial startup, you've got a continuous supply of food to suppliment your fish.

Other research regarding the benefit of BSFL as fish food, using carp, telopia and catfish showed improved growth when added to already existing feeding programs as well as a stand alone feed.

Anyone interested in more info, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you the link.
