Hey I have a pbass and plan on getting more. But I've had him for a few months and he's not really growing like all my other fish do. I got him aroung 2.5 in. and now he's about 4 in. I got him on feeders, I don't know how to convert him to dead food. I need help. Is the food the problem?

He will be hard to break of his habits with no other tank mates. I recommend getting some cheap fish that eat a lot but are not aggressive.... Tinfoil barbs, severums, stuff like that. When the bass sees them eating the food, he too will want to get some of the food.

Also to add to the growth part. Heat the tank up to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Do regular water changes. I usually recommend once a week for a well stocked tank.
