Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding How many feeders on a 2 acre pond

For a 2 acre long pond if the budget allows and your fish growth is important, I would use two feeders. Adjust feed time based on water temperature and how long it takes the fish to consume the pellets. REMEMBER - especially when you add pellets -- it becomes more important to properly and regularly harvest fish each year once they are several years old and they are regularly recruiting each year more fish into the pond. One can easily allow too many fish to grow causing water quality problems and too many plant problems due to added food / nutrients. The more fish you have in the pond the more food they eat to keep growing well and then water quality problems increase. Harvest fish to reduce their numbers, keep remaining fish growing well, and that reduces the overall number of problems. Your goal should be larger fewer fish having a balance rather than just having more fish always needing more food. Your goals are important for determining what to harvest and the numbers to harvest.
