Fish Food

For fingerlings 

1/16" 50% protein pellets from Arthur Aquatics CLICK HERE

For your larger fish

I discovered my local Tractor Supply does not carry the brands listed on their web site.
What I ended up buying is Purina Game Fish Chow.
It's 20 pounds for $12.99 - 65 cents per pound

Guaranteed Analysis
Crude Protein, not less than 32.0%
Crude Fat, not less than 3.0%
Crude Fiber, not more than 6.0%
Phosphorus (P), not less than 0.8%

Supposedly there is a mix of pellet sizes, but I did not find much difference. Most are about 3/16" and I ended up putting it through a blender so that my 4" fish would be able to eat it.

Below are the products listed at the web site.
These fish foods list for less then 75 cents a pound.
