I was also wondering about her "buck a year" comment. One of the cheapest
koi foods I can find in my area of middle TN is made by Misty Mountain and
costs $32.99 for a 10 lb bag. That bag is gone in about a month. We feed
here from early April until sometime in November. That can run us around
$260 bucks a year, give or take a few dollars. Uh, no thanks. :-) I buy
one of these overpriced bags a year for the young goldfish and smaller koi
that can't manage the catfish chow. As soon as they're mouths are large
enough guess which feed they go for????

Yes,... the catfish food!!!!

My pond pigs wipe out a 20 lb bag every month I would try the catfish
food but its not available here, did try trout food as someone in the
warehouse shipped the wrong bag but it went rancid as it was hi in fish
oils ( did make good garden fertilizer tho )
