Years ago on the forum I think someone theorized that feeding smaller pellets enables fish to ingest more, and over the years, equate into faster growth due to increased consumption/nutrition. Smaller the pellet, the more one can fit into a certain volume container - like a stomach. Weight of 1/4 cup of AM - the heaviest would be 500, followed by 600, and LMB formula would come in last due to the additional air space between pellets. Does this theory hold up? If the fish will target smaller pellets, it might. My larger SMB and HSB prefer pellets in this order: AM LMB, AM 600, and they sometimes ignore AM 500 altogether, even when it's all that's available. Toss in a few AM LMB pellets and the water erupts and they'll feed for 45 minutes.

Interesting topic - do you feed the largest pellet possible, or the smallest?
