My baby IT are pushing close to 3" now. I'm thinking of putting them with my pbass tank. Will this work or is this a bad idea?
 
depends how big are the bass and the IT and its personal feeding habbits...
i had that combo with 4-6in pbass and 3.5-4in IT the IT would not got for food as quickly as the bass but still got a share..im sure there are more aggressive feeing ITs out there
 
I think there is a good possibility that the bass will out grow the dats and and make a meal out of them.
Even if the bass are the same 3" as the dats. But seeing you didn't list their size I have no idea.
 
Sure, why not - just keep the sizes similar.

3" IT vs Pbass from 6-15".

As long as the IT won't fit in the pbass' mouth and the IT's can get food there shouldn't be a problem. I have NTT and IT with my pbass in a growout tank and have never had any problems.
 
I put an 2.5 inch IT with my orinos which were 5 inches and the IT was way too big for them to eat him but they ended up beating up on him and killing him....it was okay for like 4 days and he was getting his fair share of food but it didnt last....so i wouldnt do it unless they are almost the same size

You're the one who can answer that question :D I can only say that you IT won't fit in your p-bass mouth, not with those spike they have! :grinno:

This is why it didn't work!
