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.

Thanks for the info. 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?
