In my experience white crappie seem to adapt and eat anything, but black
crappie seem to only eat live fish. The black crappies I had would not even
eat live crayfish, and I have never seen any other fish reject crayfish as
long as it was not to big for them. Which kind did you you all keep white or
black?
