god dangit the freaking largemouth died today. Left to go get my kid and noticed fish wasnt acting right in the 75. Planed on doin watter change when i got backl. Got back and the bass was floating and jag wasnt looking good. Dammit . the jag looks like it gonna be opk i threw him in the 150 . Guessing i didnt let the tank cycle enuf befor adding fish. Ima let it run a week or so then try adding some again.

it might be cycle but i guess that largemouth pump out more than the filter can handle... although tank are cycled.. you need to add fish slowly so the filter can handle the load...WckedMidas said:
I know "Wicked midas" from other forms, and trust me, He knows his stuff! My guess is that he was experimenting and just goofed up. You should see some of his tanks!! He keeps supurb Pecock Bass tanks and alot of other monsters as well!
If I'm not mistaken, I believe he has successfully kept Esox lucious and some different trout species.
uhh i only hgad one peacock bass and it died at two inchs in august. And ive only had gold spangled spike, and belly crawler but thanks for compliments anyways. I was running only a large sponge on a powerhead and a air hose going into the powerhead to help oxygenate that watter. i figured it would have been enuf. I added the bass to the 75, Waited a few days added the bullhead to it. Then like a week maybe week and a half latter i threw the jag in it. So i dont think that was the reason. Im pretty sure it nitrate spiked . Due to cycle not bein finished. Also due to it sitting in the window it started turning green on me a couple days prior to them dieing. I duno. But the bullhead and jag are doin great
