We are almost on a horizontal line with you Burger. When water temps are over 60 degrees we feed a 38% protein 22% fish meal pellet at least once a day. When the water temps drop below 60 degrees we opt for a 45% protein sinking pellet fed once every 2-3 days. We don't have substantial growth during the "winter" months, but the fish do feed with a slight increase in body mass. I know ML plans to feed this way during these next few months, so if it isn't too much to ask of him he might get a few measurements to see what is working. I too would like Bill and Dave's imput on this.
