We have a brand new pond (less than 1/3 acre, 40 ft x 50 ft x 9 ft deep). About 6 weeks ago we stocked 100 channel cat, 100 bluegill, and 10 bass. I'm not sure how much to feed them, so I've been feeding by hand, tossing a few handful at a time until they stop eating. That way I don't leave a lot of floating food in the pond water. Since we've had a warm fall, I continue to feed and they continue to be hungry.
What kind of measurement is the right measurement for that number of baby fish? Should I continue to feed them all through the winter as long as they are eating?
I've recently had a algae bloom come and go. Did that have anything to do with the feeding?

I continue to feed as long as they eat without concern for measurements.
I wouldn't think the algae had anything to do with the feeding.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
