For molding the pellets, they have to have just the right amount of moisture for the correct soaking time to get them to shape and roll well like modeling clay. Too much moisture and they are mushy and not enough moisture they will not mold well into shapes that hold together well. Practice makes perfect. For the moistened pellets that are too firm, they will grind real up real quickly and well in a blender to make ground feed for the minnows.

Cheap fish pellets from box stores will not soften properly for softening and shaping, However they as low cost damp pellets will work well for grinding to feed minnows. Pellets for shaping need to have the higher protein content to form a relatively firm texture.
