So I broke my rule of no feeders and threw 70 rosy reds in the pond, well only one fish ate all 70 of them in less then 2 minutes. I really dont need to tell you who did it by what forum this is in, but damm he is fast it is an awesome sight I am gonna buy 500 next week and maybe tape it. Its crazy watching a green blur kill 70 fish while all the other big fish just seem to ignore them.
 
how hard will it be to get them off feeders after they grow on them? i wanna try feeders but dont wanna fight gettin them on something else later in life.

I've never had a problem getting them off but some others have. Chalk it up to experiance or to bad luck for some. Usually you have to feed feeders at least the first couple days.

Most suggest dmack's technique but I starve all my fish to get them on prepared.
