Thanks much! My first try, I was feeding about 70 CC in a 1/4 acre pond. I guess I overfed. Starting with 7 inch specimens in September 2015, I had a few reach 22 inches and 5 pounds by August 2017. Most were around 20 inches and 3.5 pounds. We caught about 30 out and ate them. Around December, otters came through and decimated the population. I think there is one original left, and it's really big. Head looks five inches wide when it feeds and it's almost black.

I am going to be feeding them Optimal Jr, 1/8 inch pellets at least for the first several weeks, then probably go to the regular CC 32% pellets.
