When white crappies reach a length of 12–15 centimetres (4.7–5.9 in), they are considered adult. The adults feed mainly on small fish such as minnows and young American shad, [14] and large invertebrates such as crayfish and hellgrammites. [13] [17] Their diet can vary depending on their location. They feed the most in June through October.
Individuals smaller than about 16 centimetres (6.3 in) in length eat plankton and minuscule crustaceans, while larger individuals feed on small fish (like shad), as well as minnows. [6] Adult black crappies feed on fewer fish than white crappies do; instead they consume a larger volume of insects, insect larvae [17] and crustaceans. [7]

They feed during dawn and dusk, by moving into open water or approaching the shore. [20] [21] Hybrid crappie (Pomoxis annularis × nigromaculatus) have been cultured and occur naturally.
