You feed your fish dogfood?

You should not give Fish food that you feed your husband.

Over the years there has been a lot of discussion of food. Lots of us
(including us) use catfish food. about $12 for 50#. The fish seem to do
well with it (9 years of growth.)

=============================
I've also been using catfish, trout, puppy and kitty chow - mixed together.
This is the 1st time I bought such expensive food in years. I want to see
if it's true that you feed less and get less feces/mulm in the pond. So far
they're consuming about the same amount of the expensive food that they were
the cheap food. The filter-pads are clogging just as fast.....
