Just add a lil lead brother...:ROFL:

No...Don't do that..VERY bad for your fish... To be honest with you I'm still working on that one. Because I have some HUGE catfish myself and would love to have some HUGE sized catfish pellets... I'm talking Puck size bro.. It's trickier then I thought it would be to make a big puck sized pellet sink!! Still working on it but feel I'm close. If your serious PM me after this weekend and if I finally figured it out I'll shoot you over my sinking pellet method and info bro.
 
i wouldnt mind see that also if you get it figured out :D i know i went to a bass pro shop feeding of their large tank once and they made their own fish food and it was jello looking and it sank. he didnt say what it was or how they made it just that they made it their-self.

I know what your talking about and that's not a pellet and is made from Gelatin actually. Its real easy to make, I've done that too but the big problem with that stuff is, it has to be stored in your refrigerator...Fail! I'm looking for a pellet that can sink and you can store in bags or bins without requiring refrigeration.

You're a pioneer my friend, not afraid to do anything. You share all your progress or failers, something I'm bad at. Keep up the great work!!
