I only feed 500 in all of our ponds. Our fish are used to this particular size, and it has produced well for us. Esshup did bring down some 600 for me to try, and there was minor interest but nothing like the activity on the 500. Conditioning is so prevalent....just ask Scott how many bluegills he caught on the 600 sized Stubby Steve's.

I do think there's something to be said for the smaller pellets simply fitting together better, (as in a higher quantity) in a confined space, but I'm not sure what effect a softening of the water soaked pellet might have, and I'm also unsure if this applies to a variable space, (like a stomach), as it does to a fixed space.

I know I have watched a single fish pluck 25-30 AQ500 pellets many times, with the record being 37 pellets eaten at one feeding.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
