Large Mouth bass Kept with Tropicals?

Just wondering would I be able to keep a large mouth bass in the same tank with my tropical fishes which is in tanks with high temp??

as long as they dont fit in his mouth. i raised one with my south american cichlid tank. they grow way fast in the warmer water. eat like horses too

The tanks I have has arowanas and some bichirs my temp is set around 85 that is what I was worried about if it might be too hot for them. What were your temps at when you had the LMB?

between 80 an 82 i would guess. if you do it take like a day or two to do the aclimation. super slow. how hot is florida water in the summer/ i bet its gotta be up there. lmb live there right?

possible the colder areas of florida??? There are websites that shows LMB in florida. What happend to your LMB?

it will totally work. just slow an easy. it will grow like crazyt though. i caught my lil bass at ward ponds in my belly boat last summer.

Alright cool!! Im going to try it out It will definitely be bad ass to have it work.

I caught a walleye this year it was pretty big I tried to set him into my tanks but it didnt work out it looked real bad but I think my mistake was I didnt let it adjust slowly to the water and temp.

They can survive in tropical water just as fine as tropical fishes Mines was fine at 86.
