Ah so I did, but I also keep my koin na natural mud pond which is full
of natural stuff koi are meant to eat as well not kept in a liner or
preform pond, so ther eis a difference I do belive and I think the
others here will agree with me. Once again yur selective in what ahd
how yu post replies so that it looks tobe just to your advantage.
I feed catfish food, no trout as its not available here, but a 50
pound bag will last me a year or more as i use it only to throw a
small a maount out to entice the fish to come u p so I can have a look
see as to how they are all doing. Its called responsive feeding., Its
not meant to be nutritional in any way. It was a method recomeded to
me by the fisheries and biology department of The U of Florida. Do
you know of a better way? The entire object is get em up to look at,
not feed em enough to make em dependant or to give em any real
nourishment. Cheerios and other cereals was also on that list of
suggested responsive food stuff. Go find some other response that one
failed miserably Carol.

Arbitrarily buying a bag of "___________" and feeding it to anyhtng is
sure a scientific study for sure. No control no documentation to base
so called findings on, and its all speculation. More to saying the
fish look good and got fat and grew fast...certainly more to it than
that........Your methods of running a test is not even close to being
substantial in any findings you think you have discovered......You
just saved somne moeny is all you did and the fish more than likely
gained nothing but a full belly of junk food.
Now this is a good example moderators. Would we allow this post?
That's hard to say since Roy will disagree with anything I post here. There
are plenty of pictures of my fish on my website. Do they look like sick
balloons? If they were so bad off on such poor food why do they look so
healthy and lay eggs well into summer? Take another look at them on my
site. :-) I get no returns and no complaints form those who have bought
fish from me these past 5 years. :-)))
It could be consider inflammatory, yet it doesn't call anyone any nasty
names. I'd have to pass it, but than would *I*, as a moderator, be
considered bias because the above poster just happens to agree with
me? ~ jan
As I recall he once agreed with me that the expensive feeds were not
necessary, but I don't think I have it archived. Ok,... then what would you
do with my message pointing out how healthy my fish were on the cheaper
foods? How overrun with fry we are most of the time? Or how flawed so much
of the research is these days?
