i dont think this is possible
before thinking about breeding it would be smart to learn the basics of these fish.
they need atleast a 220 gallon tank
if not even bigger than that!
i would say 300g for breeding
but if you want to increase your chances i would go with a pond
mabey like a 500g outdoor pond
or better yet
just go catch a bunch of baby bass like i did
alot easier
the baby bass where everywhere 3 months ago
but they all went towards the middle now thats its getting a bit cooler
good luck!


They go to the middle when it's too -hot-, they come back to the shallows when the water cools down.

Wow, didnt plan to see this fossil excavated haha. Well I've pretty much given up on this idea for the moment although I did catch a 2" LMB yesterday and a 2.5" Crappie at a farm pond and am currently raising.

Why waste a huge tank like a 20 long on largemouth bass breeding for petes sake.

Just go with one of those 1 Gallon beta tanks. Plenty of space for two adult LMB around 12" each to build a nest and breed profusely. Look to get around 200 fry in this setup!

Can I breed Bull Sharks in my farm pond 100 feet across? Troll!
