  Description

  1. This category of fish includes those that feed on both animal and vegetable substances, so they don't demand the higher protein levels or nutrient densities required by carnivores.
  
  2. Purina^® AquaMax^® Starter Diets can be used for early growth phases and young fish of both species groups. For fingerling fish or larger, follow recommendations below.
  
  3. Catfish: Channel catfish are easily trained to AquaMax^® Pond Fish food. AquaMax^® Pond Fish food is a quality feed that keeps catfish healthy and optimizes their natural growth rates. A good feed means good flesh for those who raise catfish for food.
  a. When feeding catfish, feed at the same time, same place each day.
  b. The fish will be as consistent as you are.
  c. Peak feeding at temperatures between 55°F and 85°F.
  d. Feed an amount that will be consumed in 15 minutes.
  e. Do not overfeed.
  
  4. Tilapia: Tilapia are raised in ponds for several reasons. Tilapia will eat algae, but will also readily consume fish food. AquaMax^® Pond Fish food provides essential nutrients tilapia need to thrive and grow.
  a. Peak feeding at temperatures between 65°F and 85°F.
  b. Feed an amount that will be consumed in 15 minutes

  Caution

  Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.

  Important

  This product is to be fed only to the animal species as directed on this label.

  Management Practices

  Follow these management practices:
  1. Consult the feed tag on the package for specific feeding directions.
  2. A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices followed.
  3. Actual results may vary depending upon feed intake, environmental conditions and the quality of management practices.
  4. A pond fish feeding program maximizes feed conversion rates which helps minimize the risk of water quality degradation. However, it is necessary to follow good management practices and feed ONLY what the fish will consume.
  5. Excess feed increases the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) which over time, can contribute to the deterioration ofyour water quality.
  6. Adequate Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) must be maintained for sport fishing ponds; aggressive feeding should beaccompanied by an adequate aeration program.

  Reminder

  Consumption can vary depending upon water temperature, season of the year, nutritional needs of the fish, availability of other foods and fish familiarity with particle feeds.
