The water temperature is 73° F according to my digital temperature probe. Basically the water is at room temperature.

I am not a professional smallmouth keeper, but I think they like water much colder, like in the 50-60 range. Maybe they cant tolerate lower oxygen
 
ok, i'll try to get more oxygen in the water. i think i have an air stone so i might use that. i got them from my pond which usually gets pretty warm around this time of year and the fry in there are fine. they ones i have in an aquarium have been in there for about a week so far with little trouble up until now.
