[QUOTE="Boone25/06, post: 5851277, member: 15523"] Automatic fish feeder is a must for optimal growth. If just for fun and watching fish eat hand feeding would be fine. Sweeney is the best feeder I have used. Floating feeder ring to get them started and not let them push feed to bank and become easy prey for herons. Feed the best / highest protein feed you can afford. Aqua max and optimal or high quality. You will feed less feed this way to get same growth. So cheap low quality feed will actually cost more in long run between less growth by weight and adding more nutrients to pond that will cause excess algae. Plant based protein is okay for catfish but no good for your bluegill and bass. They do best on a fish meal based protein. Do not over feed or you will be dealing with water quality issue that if not handled could kill all the fish to an dissolved oxygen crash. Way too many things to go over completely but these are a start. [/QUOTE]
