There are two feeding methods used in feeding catfish:
1. Broadcast Feeding:
This basically involves me going round the pond or spreading floating feed all over the pond to ensure all the fishes in the pond gets to eat. This is for fishes that are in the fingerlings to post fingerlings stage, and its done because they just got introduced into a large body of water, often from somewhere significantly smaller, and not all the fishes can come to the same spot to eat. By spreading the floating (or extruding) fish across the pond, you areensuring they all get to eat.

Spot feeding is less time-consuming and more effective, since it is less stressful and you can carefully monitor how your fishes are eating.
Spot feeding is basically you feeding your fishes in one spot.
At first, if they are used to eating using the broadcast style, most of the fishes won’t come to a particular spot to eat; however, by ONLY feeding them on that spot for a few days, they’ll be conditioned to come to that spot and eat.
