How to care for baby Smallmouth bass

[bass boy]

i need some help please. i just got a new smallmouth bass, and i am trying to care for it. can anyone help me?

well im guessing the fish is around 2-4 inches. so id say u should feed him frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp , etc. stay away from feeders. as he gets larger, switch over to market shrimp. this should be in the cold water/ native section

Moved to the coldwater section. I would also start with bloodworms and krill when it is smaller. You should be able to train it to take pellets later. Let us know what the setup is and also the size of the fish.

I would get it switched over to pellets or flake food as soon as possible its much easyer to train a young fish then a older fish.

Try frozen Hikari Brine Shrimp cubes; they worked like a charm for getting my smallies to eat something other than live food.
