Never done a poll before so I hope this works.

Select the number of fish you want food for. You are allowed to make multiple choices and in doing so can make up a number that isn't in the poll. For example if you want food for 25 fish then select 20 and 5 fish.

As the information comes in I'll start working out how many bags of feed we want and what sizes.
Small fish don't eat much so one bag of 1.2mm pellets could be split amongnst 10 people
With everyone getting one 3mm bag each

The more fish people want the more we can tailor the size of the pellets to the size of the fish.

IF any of this doesn't make sense just indicate the number of fish you want to stock your system with come autumm (mid to late March) and I'll do the calculations.

Distribution would most likely be done in Ballarat at the Hatchery so people could get there fish and feed at the same time.

Great idea Stu.

Thanks Chris.

Went to the hatchery this morning but after I had had my eye test it was too hot to get fish.

I was amazed to find out that there water temps are up to 23C. Mine is 21c and that is in the GH. Just goes to show that extra 250m of altitude makes a big difference.

I'm happy to organise an order but there doesnt seem to be much interest.

will this food be good for silver and jade perch? I dont think ive got room for any trout in my tank, but if i keep feeding my fish at the rate I am, i will need some food soon.

The biggest problem with ordering from Skretting is it must be done by the pallet.

If you can find out what type and size you wanr it can be added to the order and we will be grateful because it means the pallet delivery costs can be split into smaller pieces.

Trout feed is probably a bit rich in fat for SP don't know about JP. Its too cold for both of those species here so I have 0 experience with them.

I didn't think anyone was interested in this thread because there hadn't been any further replies.

I now see that we are up to a fish food order for 520 fish.

Still only at 520 fish.

Unless we get some more interest I'll not place an order.

I know EEE already has but I haven't received a reply on its(his/hers) prices.

You can take my 50 off, he's around the corner from me so I'll do a direct order..
