smile you must mean when feed training. Yeah some LMB fingerlings won't sit still for daily feed rations smile They'll eat their siblings and cousins! They do the same while waiting to be sold in holding tanks.

I had 6 LMB fingerlings eat their brothers and sisters while in a cardboard box being shipped overnight to another state. The guy only received 96 LMB when I shipped 102. I told him to look hard at the fish to see if he could see any tails sticking out of their mouths. He called back, yep, the other 6 fish were there, just not swimming around by themselves. LOL
