I have no personal experience with this, but "pouring" sounds way too
generous. Try "lightly sprinkling". This topic has come up before with
some list members saying that they put a pinch or two of fish food in
Nepenthes pitchers and got good results. You might want to check the
1996 or 1995 CP archives and search on "fish".
