what is the best way to get ur pbass to grow fast. i want my tems to grow super fast. so i can put him in my 300 gallon. any suggestions

[Morledzep]

do you want them to be healthy when they get there?

you can power feed them 4, 5 or even 6 times a day and they will grow fast. but they will grow too fast to be healthy.

or you can feed them till they are satisfied (just till you see bellies, not till they look like ballons with fins) twice or three times a day till they are 6 inches and then cut back to once a day till they are past 10 inches. they will be healthier in the long run this way.

feed them 3 times a day, keep doing water changes, temp up to about 85-88 and thats really the best you can do. Maybe get some feeder guppies like once a week to beef them up a bit.. how big are they?

[cichlid savage]

Water quality, Quality diet, temp btw 86-89 degrees. Just remember even nature has its limitations.

i just want them to grow fast but not like power feed. the fish is 3 inches long. also what is the best to feed them. i am feeding him bloodworms but it doesnt seem to fill him up. i heard that like some peoples pbass grow like 5 inches in like 49 days

[bOOsteN aUdI]

a lot of water changes, great water quality, live foods presented 3 times a day .. but i recommend growing them out normal and letting nature take its course

[Morledzep]

my babies eat bloodworms, market shrimp (cut up), brine shrimp, chicken breast (cut up) and cat fish nuggets (cut up). i keep a powerhead in the tank (on a sponge filter) and i drop the thawed food in front of the powerhead outlet flow so it moves across the tank and looks like it's alive so they eat it. and i keep a pair of scissors next to the tank to cut up their food as i'm dropping it in, i cut the big chunks for the big fish in the kitchen..

what you need to do then is ALOT of water changes and feed them a large variety of diff live foods.. if you want to power feed them or not is your decision but they will grow fast either way with this combo. temps as high as 87 will speed up the metabolism

how many water changes per week and what percent of the water to take out.

[Oscarboyz]

when i power fed my tems i did water changes 2 times every 5 days at about 20%

[cichlid savage]

I am going to be changing 50% every 3 days on my 2 growout tanks.

[silverdragon]

so ahhhh i guess youve heard from everyone else, feed 3 or so meals a day, 87 min temp and water changes lol.. plus there Tems bradda, there gonna grow quick!

[troutking]

i syphon out whatever waist i see almost everyday if i have time.. i take about 5 gallons out and add 10 gallon to top the tank off. every weekend i do a 50 percent water change and never miss one.

yes along with other different kinds of food... remember that variation is important, but if your trying get them to grow fast then live food is the best.

[channarox]

keep the temp high.
change water very often.
and feed good quality feeders 3-5 times a day.
make sure those feeders are disease free and feed the feeders good quality pellets or flakes or whatever you want the pbass to be eating.

Mud ponds are known to boost the growth, maybe it's the minerals as well??
