I was out walking my dog and we were by a pond and I saw thousands of these tiny fry by the shore. so I went home got a net and grabbed a few for my empty 125. There eating like crazy on blood worms, even though in the first pic one took out a white cloud. there in a 10 gallon now and will move to the 125 later. I have 18 of them. I think the large mouth bass but i really have know idea so any help would be appreciated.

look like lmb's to me.
Just make sure you keep the water param's good and a steady supply of food. They will prefer live foods like guppies.

thants is what I thought LMB's there eating frozen blood worms like crazy so I might try to keep them on frozen foods. I already go through 300 large gold fish a week with my ATF and Payara's to dam expensive. I have there water at 80 right now which I thought was to high but thats just room temp in my basement.

i wouldnt recommend putting them on guppies, keep up with the bloodworms. more nutritious for them and its awesome that theyre already on dead foods! congrats!

The only live food they will see was the white cloud that I thought would be ok with them. It was the same size as the bass.

Yep, definitely LMBs. Try frozen Hikari Brine Shrimp cubes; I got my bluegill and SMBs off live just by giving them one cube. One of them will try it, and then, BOOM!, feeding frenzy lol.

Yup! I've done this...and now I can offer flake and it'll be eaten.
*gasp* I feed flake sometimes. Don't yell at me!;)

AWESOME little LMB.. thats pretty nice that they are eating frozen right away. They are pigs even that little. So very cool
i live by a trout pond it has thousands of lbm fry like this size and some small mouths aswell i thought about doing the same...the only problem that i have is that all my tanks are full with fish that would eat the babies!

They're either spotted bass or largemouth bass. You can't tell either from each other until about 6-7" which is when you can look at the eye to edge of mouth.

nice, where'd you get them?

Juvenile spots have a brightly colored tail, orange at the base with black basicaudal spot, black submarginal band, and white marginal band.
