Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Feeding fatheads

TN H - If you really want a finer sized economical feed for fatheads try grinding your regular fish pellets in a household blender. Wash the blender before your wife makes smoothies in it. I sometimes mix day-old dried bread with the pellets to keep high fat pellet meal from caking in the blender. 32% protein pellets should grind up okay in a blender. You can grind quite a bit of food for them in 20-30 minutes. The amount of food that I can grind in 30 minutes (around one cup at a time) will last me about a month for feeding several thousand minnows 0.5"-3" long.
