You got a Purina dealer nearby? They can get you Aquamax products. If not, probably order from Endurance.

So I don’t have to start a new thread
Do fish adjust from one feed to another?
Be it Endurance to AquaMax or the other way around?
If so what is the adjustment period or will they just stop eating feed?

I'm not saying all fish are the same. I once was at a customers place where he exclusively fed Aquamax 500. The fish absolutely would NOT eat Aquamax 600. No way, No how. These were 2# HBG. They'd pick a single AM 500 pellet from the water that was floating right next to an AM 600 pellet.
When I switched from AM to Optimal (now Endurance) I mixed it 50/50 in the feeder for 80# then just went straight to Optimal.

I just bought 1000# of new food, yesterday was day 1 of switching. There was very little activity compared to the 5 days prior with the last of the old food, very well could have been the drastic weather change, today with the new food it was back to feeding like crazy. I got scared there for a day

Fish often reduce pelleted feeding when spawning activity gets close. Same when big temp changes occur. Full moon was last week - what are water temps?
