Odd shape thats weight lol trying to get these guys monsters look at a bass next time and see that they do get "Over weighted look" just looks mean in the tank.. Girth might be the right word

IMO, I think this one needs to gain a little weight.

Yeah, I thought they looked too lean, but I have never owned a pbass so I asked the question. Pics are often deceptive too tho.

I feed them every other day with pellets and fridays i throw in a couple dozen fish i dont see how they are lean maybe im doing something wrong pls help if so do i need to everyday or not as much first batch of pea cocks bought another one yesterday at my LFS said they were treverso if thtas how you spell it but it looks pretty similar to the ones i have already paid too much i think 20$ sounds high and he was beat up pretty good bought him because i felt bad lol typical animal lover.

And having a farm mix is that bad in the trade kind of like a mut in the dog world?

Thank you for your help

Ideally, small, juvie fish should eat their body weight daily to grow properly. Once they start getting some size on them, you can start to cut back on feeding.

Word what hillbilly said. If you really wanna pump these guys for max growth feeding everyday is a necessary. When my little bass with less than 4" he was in a growout tank with 50 feeders at a time, never starving lol. Now I feed him shrimp every other day
