I have a 5" Lmb in a 36gallon up and running for about 3 weeks. The recently has started putting on size and girth since his feeding has nearly trippled. Depending on sex your bass might taper off before becoming a lunker. From what i understand females will pass 15" males usually dont. I keep my tank at 70 ish and with fall rolling in now the days arent warming the tank as it used to.
Female bass grow bigger and faster, while male bass grow much slower and not as big. I have a male LM Bass and he has gone from 9 inches to 15 inches in over 2 years.
bass are awesome fish to keep especially when it comes to feeding time nothing beats a big bass swallowing its prey LOL but be prepared with a huge tank and towels on the floor when feeding as back when i had bass (LONG time ago lol) they assisted with the draining part of the water change process fairly well at feeding time LMAO
