Bass Growth Rate?

[Michael101]

What is the growth rate of a LMB?
And what do you guys feed your LMB, mine seems only to eat crickets and guppies, which gets pretty expensive?

the grow fast! there pretty easy to get on to prepared foods, try tilapia filets or market shrimp they also love night crawlers

Thnaks... how often should they be fed?

Bass growe according to how much space is given and how much the Bass is being fed as well as water parameter conditions.


My Bass was 3 inches when I bought him 7 months ago and now he is 6 inches. I feed him twice a week with feeders.

i dont have any of my fish on any sort of feeding schedule, sometimes they get fed everyday and sometimes only 2 times a week. just dont let them get to skinny. do you have any tankmates for yours?

 

[Michael101]

OK thanks so i dont need to feed it everyday?
Blok0ne, yes it is housed with a oscar, pleco and blue gill

Mine went from 3" to 10-12" in less than a year. They got on market shrimp easily. I feed every day and give them minnows 1-2 times a week

I feed mine grubworms, earthworms, bugs of any kind, and spaghetti noodles. yep.

The only prepared food I've had success with is freeze dried shrimp or krill.
And that was when they were tiny.. I found a bunch of frog eggs I am raising into tiny frogs to feed my LMB. I suggest experimentation and lots of time in front of the tank.
