Hi guy's, does anyone know how to ween fingerlings onto pellets or this a stupid question?

Is it as simple as getting the smallest pellets possible and just going up in size as they grow or do you use like fish food from aquarium shop etc?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Normally if you buy your fingerling stock from a reputable supplier they are already weened on pellets.

Hi
Compared to Trout my European Perch are fussy eaters.
I crush the small pellets.
However what really seemed to work was dropping in a small power head.
The movement made all the difference.

Thanks guy's, when you say power head Titus do you mean like a small blade rotor or something like an outboard motor but very small? to churn up the pellets and water etc?
