Color/shape/texture, wouldn't be an issue once fish are conditioned to take feed, but it may make training them easier.


In re-reading this thread, I realized I wasn't fully appreciating the distinction between training feed and regular feed. Using FoodSource as a training/transitional feed was something Dr. Rusty Wright (Auburn fisheries) mentioned a few years ago. Palatability (mouth feel; taste) was the focus back then as I recall, but movement and color are important considerations, too. This discussion is very enlightening. Thank you.
