Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Optimal vs. Purina

I feed Aquamax 500, 600, and Largemouth. I tried a bag of MVP when it came out. I can get a 50 lb bag of 500 or 600 for a little less, and consider a mix of the two to do the same kind of job as MVP's mixed pellet sizes. Some 500/600 pellets sink right away (more when a big BG or YP smacks into them at the surface), although there are not as many sinkers as with MVP.

MVP is, IMHO, good fish food (43% protein vs 41% for 500/600 and 45% for LM). If you want a decent % of sinking pellets, it's good to use.
