Hey CREAM lovers.
Here is a picture of the smallest P-bass in my 560 gallon show tank. He's from Jeff Rapps first batch and the first time these were ever available to the market. I got him at 3 inches and it is now about 9-10 inches. I might need to get rid of him though because some of my other bass are looking at him as a possible fish they can swallow. I really don't want to set up another grow out tank just for him and I really don't want to get rid of him either. I just wish he would be bigger so the other bass don't try to eat him. What do all you guys think???

Well, I guess if they've been together for that long, and they all are getting food and growing, I wouldn't be too worried about the Broko getting eaten.
 
No Angler just recently they have been singling him out and tore his tail fin down the middle. He was forced into hiding more and although he does eat great. the bigger ones are much faster eaters and throws their weight around. I wonder if anyone wants to buy him?
 
Don't sell that guy Artty go get another growout man !!!!
 
Ok so Brokos are one of the coolest bass around, sorry but they rival kelberi. I have 10 inch brokos with 16 inch bass and they are very fine. I do have 8 inch orinos that are the most likely to get eaten whole but they haven't so far. That all said i am not denying your issue. They are a really nice fish I would not give mine up. Maybe some small dithers are in order? Something for the bigger bass to hammer.

I would buy him but I think shipping would kill the deal.
 
Rapps didnt bring em in firs it was wes fyi....anyways id keep that guy!!! Its a stunner
