The last production run of the food is different (size wise) than the previous run. I think we have landed on a mixture of pellet sizes that will feed a variety of sizes of sunfish in the pond. Here's a picture with a penny in the picture for a size comparison. We tried for 3 different size pellets, all the same diameter, just different lengths. Unless we get a lot of feedback for a change, this is where this particular Sunfish food will stay at.

That's one thing that I really, really like about this company. They listen to the feedback and change things to help more effectively feed the fish in the pond.

Might consider making a separate "starter" version with pellets about half the size of the smallest in the picture. Something that would replace AM400. It would be good for ponds recently stocked with fingerling fish.
The small BG really go for the AM400 thrown around the bank in a foot or so of water.

I don't know how large of a mover it would be for normal pond owners, but I can see where fish farms/hatcheries that feed their fish would use more of it. With a "normal" run of 1,000 bags, I wonder how long the inventory would last? Also, small fish need a different formulation than larger fish for optimal growth, so the formula would have to be different. There IS a crumble starter food that is produced now, for smaller fish, but it isn't a floating food, and the formulation is a LOT different than the Optimal Sunfish food. It runs $5/per pound due to the ingredients.
