Has anyone kept large mouth bass?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
its 7-8k gal and i have 10k gallon filtration system i can add another filter for less than 500$ that will handle another 4500 gal
 
I am also planning on making nuggets out of the channel cats when they get big enough lol
Man, you just beat to it!
I was gonna say, a fish fry would take care of the over population lol

The bass will be everyday inhabitants, like the RTC's, the oscars and the goldfish.. I'm just hoping the 2000 minnows I put in there will keep all my meat eaters happy for a while... Don't want the RTC's to eat my other predatory fish so best keep them occupied right? Lol I am also feeding 32% protein complete diet floating/sinking fish pellets
 
lmbs are great fish, super personality once they acclimate to aquarium life, and extremely easy to break off live food when young. I've raised a couple that met some untimely demises due to my errors (one got to pushy with my grass pickerel and ending up being a meal...the other got caught up in the intake of a canister filter) but they were eating tilapia the second day I had them, and they were wild caught.
Where can you get pickerel?
 
I am thinking about picking some up from the fish farm so i thought I would ask
Yea I had one I got at about 4 inches. It ate all the rosey it could eat and after about a month it was well over 7 inches.
