Bass ID and care

[Fogs]

Hey everyone I got a baby bass and i think its a Spotted Bass hes about 5-6in long and ive had him for about 2 days. Hes eaten the feeder guppies and ghost shrimp ive put in there pretty automatically. I found him in a Small pond/river system in Southwest Florida. If anyone can correct the ID or provide info about care, size, growth rate all would be appreciated thanks.

Doesn’t look like a spotted, I seen and caught those before. This just looks like a washed out largemouth bass. Seems like they will grow 2-8 inches a year, maybe more in an aquarium with being fed pellets. Just expect a possible near 2ft bass in the future, probably needing atleast a 180 gallon or pond.

I've never seen a baby spotted. i've only caught one that was 9+ in so idk.
