try to get an average weight (i use a bucket that i weigh, add fish, and weigh again, divide by number of fish), feed up to 5% for fingerlings.. closer to 2% for larger fish

<p>I have been feeding them once a day. I stop putting in pellets when they lose interest, but it seems like they will go after the worms no matter how much they've already eaten.</p>

<p>I am feeding a high protein (45%) food and supplementing with some worms. I am not real sure how much I should feed though. How did you judge the amount of food?</p>

make sure you are using a good quality food, high protein - game fish food (42% -45%)<br />
the starter food is i think 52% protein..<br />
i supplement a base diet of aquamax (a mix of sizes/types) with minnows, worms and crayfish

<p>you'll be suprised by their growth, my 3" yp from last spring are, for the most part at harvest size, but i'm letting them go for a bit until i decide what my next round will be..</p>
