Pond material questions

What is the difference between gypsum and bentonite?

Pond gypsum helps clear muddy water by causing suspended clay particles to settle. Granular bentonite absorbs water and swells to help seal pathways where water escapes through pond soil. Choose gypsum for suspended-clay cloudiness and bentonite to help seal subsurface leaks and surface cracks in pond soil and earthen pond dams. They serve different purposes and aren’t interchangeable.

Fish feed questions

I used to buy feed from Burrismill.com. How does Triton compare with the original Burris feed line?

Triton feed is produced at the former Burris mill in Franklinton, Louisiana, which was later acquired by Cargill and is now operated by Bowers-Saha Nutrition. Today’s Triton line continues that mill’s aquaculture-feed tradition, with formulations and pellet sizes for different fish and feeding needs. We use the same high-protein feed we sell. Our 4512 feed contains 45% protein and 12% fat. Many basic catfish and general-purpose pond feeds contain less protein and fat. Protein supports growth, while fat supplies concentrated energy, making the formula especially important when feeding predatory fish. In our experience, largemouth bass and hybrid striped bass train well to our 4512 feed. The right pellet size and a consistent feeding routine also matter. Not every fish starts taking pellets immediately, but neither species should be dismissed as unable to learn. Explore our Triton fish feed selection to find the right option for your pond.

How do I choose and mix pellet sizes for my Bill Dance feeder?

Minnows and young trout, bass, catfish and bluegill commonly start with our Micro-Starter. Our 4512 feed provides 45% protein and 12% fat; choose the pellet size for the fish rather than switching to a lower-grade feed simply because it comes in a smaller pellet. Choose pellets small enough for your fish to eat comfortably, and include larger pellets as they grow. When using micro-starter in a Bill Dance feeder, mix it with larger pellets. Fine feed alone can flow through too quickly, like sand through an hourglass. We’ve found that combining sizes, including micro-starter and 3/16-inch pellets, works well and gives different-sized fish suitable feed in the same pond. Our Triton Grower Pack includes Micro-Starter, 1/8-inch Starter and 3/16-inch Performance feed. Many customers add these in alternating layers when filling their Bill Dance feeder. Adjust the feed-release setting and run a short test after changing your mix to check the amount dispensed.

How do I keep fish food fresh in my automatic feeder?

Keep your Bill Dance feeder lid securely closed, and do not open the hopper during rain. Store extra fish food in a cool, dry location, protected from insects and rodents. Use older feed first, and avoid leaving unused feed in the hopper for long periods when you aren’t feeding.

When will my trout ship and arrive?
Can rainbow trout live in my pond all year?

Only where the pond stays cool enough and has enough dissolved oxygen through the warmest part of the year. In many warm-water ponds, trout are a cool-season fish with a planned harvest before conditions become unsuitable. Use measured pond temperatures and oxygen conditions to plan, rather than air temperature alone.

Should I choose rainbow trout fry, fingerlings or juveniles?

Choose for your goal and the fish already in the pond. Rainbow trout fry are the smallest stage and require more protection and attention during grow-out. Rainbow trout fingerlings and juveniles offer larger starting sizes. Compare the actual size range in each listing, and consider existing predators before choosing the smallest fish on price alone.

How is Oklahoma Fall Trout Stocking different from the shipped trout listings?

Oklahoma Fall Trout Stocking is a separate local-delivery offer for catchable rainbow trout. Review that service listing for the delivery area, charges and scheduling details. If you are comparing it with a shipped trout order, confirm the delivery arrangements before ordering.
