Thoughts on this red bass

[gorak]

This guy was sold to someone from an online source as a tem. I got it from that person without looking at it as a tem. After i saw it, I thought it was a mono with 2 spots. It was 2.5". Now as it has grown to 4" and the other 2 have become nice monos. This one has changed and become this rusty red color. It also is very aggressive. It also shows that dark line all the time or 2 spots. I am wondering others thoughts on it.

Looks like you have a few farm mono there including the red one.

This tanks has the 3 monos in my collection. That includes the red one. It also has my 2 brokos. I didnt know if this red one was different since it was bought at a different time by the original owner under a tem listing. Jist have not seen the aggression level and red ton on any monos I have had in the past so it was worth checking.

Probably the same, I've seen this before. He may possible turn out more yellow. Those brooks are nice but make sure you keep up on your water changes. They are like intermidia with the HITH. kendragon can tell you more about.

Yeah I have been talking with ken. I am also on top of the wc. 2x 75% a week normal. Even if it doesnt "need it". My perams never are outside of 0,0,10. The only "issue" is I dont plan to keep my tanks at 88f once they are all larger in size.

You don't have to keep your temps that high with large bass

88 is way to high imo. It's unnecessary plus oxygen levels will be extremely low. My max temp was alsways 86 for baby bass and after I gain experience and was able to keep consistent temps, my temp never exceeds 82-84 degrees. Now I keep my bass at 81-82 degrees on a controller. Controllers are the key to steady temps.

I dont have controllers. There is plenty of o2 in the tank. A few hob filters and an sponge filter. Tons of bubbles all over in the tank.

One min I am told my fish are bound for ich because the temp is too low. Now my temp is too high after going to the temps recommended. Idk I am just going to roll what I have in the past once am am sure all the feeder given ich is 100% out of the system.

I think your misunderstanding 88 is fine for growouts, it was suggested to you to raise the temps because you had several bass not eating. Raising the temp increases the metabolic rate i.e. makes them want to eat more hopefully it would get your bass to eat. At the end of the day they are your fish do what you think is best. We are just trying to help that's all

If you look back in any of my posts from the past, I alway stay 86 is the magic number
