Its a new year and the fish are hungry. Last year I organized a group by for the guys here on the forum and want to do it again.

Prices for a 24 bag half pallet are $40/bag or $36/bag for a 48 bag full pallet. That price is for the BG food.

If you would like some feed let me know. Food is available for pickup in Grand Prairie or I can meet people nearby if it is not too far away.

I need 6.


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.

I'll do 20 bags, maybe a few more if needed to get to a full pallet, or less if others need a few more.

That's a half pallet right there. Lets give it a few days to see if anybody else needs some. We need 17 more for a whole pallet.

Are you guys able to keep food fresh for a year? Brand new at this, I'm too far away to help, just curious.

I spoke with Optimal and their food has a shelf life over a year, but they always keep low inventory so what they ship out is always fresh. Only reason to order a years worth is to save money on shipping, thus cost per bag. 1 bag is $50, where ordering a pallet reduces it to $36/bag. If you are ordering a few bags a year, it doesn't really matter and no need to have a lot of extra bags laying around, but if you are ordering 20, 30 or more it can be a big factor.

5-6 months shouldn't be a problem if you keep it cool. I have about 6 bags left over from last fall and it looks fine.

Last year I think we ordered twice but we didn't place our first order until June. I imagine this year it will be 3-4 times at least.

Thank you for the info. My sack of Cargill is approx 1/2 gone. I figure it will last about another month and then I will need to decide my next move.

Chris, if you still have some bags left, and will be in the Longview, Marshall, or Shreveport area at some point, I'll take up to 8.

Since Frank wants 8 bags we can start working on another half or full pallet.

If anybody wants some food let me know.
