If you did do your research, then you'll know that 1'' pbass is far from being a juvenile. To be honest, there is no tips or tricks with raising healthy and happy bass.

I have wrote on this thread as well and I'm to lazy to rewrite it. I'm pretty sure more C.R.E.A.M'ers will add to this. But this is what worked for me.

High temps 85+ lots of oxygen good water quality varied diet...really the same for keeping any fish happy healthy

wen my pbass are bigger. would the water temp still matter?
it wont matter as much IMO...it depends on who u talk to...some still keep it up at 85+ while others lower it to 80-82. I personally like anything around 77-80 at any given time. But at higher temps the pbass are definitely a lot more active and hungry

They don't nearly as much but i like mine always in the 83 to 85 range for all my fish :D

For the love of god dont get them on feeders. Once you put them in, they wont touch anything else.
