First I would like to say sorry for your losses! I love PBass even though I don't know much about them. Glad you were able to put your order in and start over. There was one PBass (or they labeled it Bass) in a LFS and he was roughly I would say....4-5 inches and he was on sale for $100! When I was asking about the care and husbandry of the fish they had absolutely no clue what to tell me, first it was they belonged to brackish water, then it was freshwater, then it was they dont grow big at all, then it was oh yeah they grow huge! In all of 15 minutes I was there!
I'm telling you...if not for everyone here on MFK...I would have to rely on LFS for info...and I am almost certain I would have had to give up having fish because I would have kept failing on so many levels!
When you get your new arrivals take pics!
