I feed my CNBG, Redear, F1 and Blue Tilpia fingerling size catfish food that I pick up from local Co-op. I have 4 feeders that go off simultaneously and most feed times it is like the water is boiling with the feeding activity.
The posts above did get me thinking. Is there a correlation to quality of food and life span for my fish?
I am catching quality fish in each species with good relativity numbers.
A 50# bag costs me $22.00 plus tax.
But should I be feeding a higher quality food?
This is the information from the label.
