I picked up 4 Baby Pbass around 1" There monors or ocell I dont know what yet. So far they are eating flakes,Guppies( I wont feed them these ), And I just tried market shrimp. THey love the market shrimp will eat it right out of my hand if its a small enough peice, I soak the shrimp in vitachem for about 5-20 mins. IS there any other way to get these guys to grow faster?
And how long would it take for them to hit about 4" with clean water lots of healthy food and vita chem in their food/water?
 
:( I hate live food. Atleast 25% a week isent to bad. I added that vita chem and it turned my water like cloudy as crap is it normal?
 
vita chem will turn the water a cloudy orange/yellow color for about maybe 4-10 hours or so, then will clear up... is not a problem, does/is what it is...
if you don't care for it, I suggest trying something else (no I'm not being mean or sarcastic, just not sure how else to explain)
 
They'll be 4" in no time. Bass tend to fill out but they'll lengthen to 4" quick. IMO stick to what you're feeding unless you want to work in 25% live like Li said.
 
WEll, LI is a fish god lol. It only started turning the water cloudy after I put it in the water. Never when it was on the food. Anywho, I'm gona buy some small worms, and a couple dozen guppies and give them the guppies once a week, and the worms once a week But they will mainly be on shrimp.

THanks guys

I dont feed them on sunday to make sure I dont over feed.
 
keep your temp around 84 degrees as well. this speeds up their metabolizm therefore creating more of an appetite.
