Bought three baby pbass today

[Pburstrom]

They are hanging out at the top of the tank. Are they not kind of a midwater lurker? Also from the (apparently lame) websites said they did well in any water. From what i have seen here it should be lower Ph High temp?

 

[Plowed]

Higher temp, lowish pH, (no higher than 7.5), and lots of feedings. Also, due to the high temp the water should be well aerated. Congrats on the purchase

yeah your going to need a bigger tank if you wanna keep them for life. and if you see my sig i also have 3 pbass in a 75 but im planing on selling them when they get 8"

How long for them to grow out past 8 to 10"? they are only 2.5 to 3 now.

6 months maybe? Realistically you have probably til the get 12" or so to upgrade maybe more, depends on your ethics.

As far as ghost shrimp, well it now says darter... It's just a fun way of marking your level of activity here.
