Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - High Protein Range Cubes For Catfish Feed

Anyone tried it in their pond?

In most cases it is the source of the protein and not simply the % that matters. All sources of protein are not equal or even usable in fish (depending on species).

I could see using that for Triploid Grass Carp but not catfish. I'd stick to what is proven, you don't see any hatcheries feeding their catfish range cubes.

Growth rates have been outstanding. I’m feeding 37% range cubes. I put 130 6” catfish in my house tank in April. I’ve fed them 220lbs and I just had some kids over to catch a few. I’m getting pound and bigger cats from that stocking and all are very healthy. I’m planning on putting a knife on them when they hit two pounds if I still have water in the tank. It’s getting dry in Tx.

Agree with Ewest

Conventional logic says that you’re feeding the wrong stuff to your fish to expect them to thrive. We all know that herbivore feed is inappropriate for carnivores. It would be like feeding a dog on a diet of green beans.

And yet it’s working for you. I would stay with it and see what happens.
