Bought three baby pbass today

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
6 months is probably the quickest, could take longer but there isn't an "approximate" baby pbass tend to "fill out" and then start to grow length wise.
 
I'd say 6-8 months... Just feed them once a week... then they grow slower... If you bought these to sell... good luck... who wants a 8" peacock for $40....? I'll sell one for $1 just to get rid of it..lol. No one wants big farm breds! Don't buy to sell an try to make money! Not worth it! You feed more than you'd profit!

you shouldnt feed oscars feeders, the fats are good for them. but pbass on the other feeders are great.

:iagree: but that goes for pretty much any fish unless it's extremely rare. People can deal with buying a fish that's 3-6" easier than buying a already large fish that requires a large space from day one. Since alot of people are buying fish with the "I'll upgrade later" intention. Some do, and some don't but that's another subject.

:iagree: Most buy in the intent to upgrade... most don't! Then they gotta try to find homes for them.... Especially when most are stock LFS pbass that most can but for $10 or less...... Why big when you can buy small or wilds....?

You're not "wrong", it's just a difference in opinion. Some swear by feeders and others dispise them. It's really for you to to decide what you believe. :)
 
Didn't buy with the intent to sell, just had bad initial info. New surprise addition today, my girl brought me a baby arowana as well. Not sure what to do now :nilly: I'll tryto post a pic of the lot
