The cat didnt get the crappie. I did some finish landscaping over the weekend too. They seem to be eating well (salad shrimp)

Landscaping looks sweet....

Sounds good, they are eating the shrimp! Feed them this solely, or about 90% of the diet. I think if you've got them on these, fill them up. Keeping quanity and water temp. in check. Once they are really hammering the shrimps, throw a couple pieces of worm, cut market shrimp/fish in the mix. Hopefully the will recognise you as the food source and start begging like dogs. Then getting them to pellets should be easier.

I've got 10 to 1 odds that once the pond gets dialed in, that berm behind the pond will be a waterfall some day.
