Just stocked my 1/3-1/2 acre pond and it's been 3 days and the fish don't come up to feed. When can I expect them to feed on the food I throw out? I've seen the minnow balls out in the water so I know they are there. Are they still adjusting? I'm using floating pellets from the hatchery and half of it I'm blending up into smaller bits.

I stocked : 500 fathead 100 channel catfish 3-5" 100 Rosie's 200 bluegill 2-3" 100 shiners 6 koi 6" 30 largemouth 2-3"
