Hi! Now, I am keeping a Largemouth bass of 3,5'' with temperature 75ºF/25ºC. I look after more information like this, and I check that its limit temperature for optimal conditions, He is apathy and doesn't eat since 2 days ago. He doesn't have any external symptom. Thanks.

:chillpill:
 
My LMB lives at about 78-82 and is quite happy.
I feed him nightcrawlers and comets once a week.
Try a healthy water change and maybe a touch of salt or epsom to bring it back around.
Good luck
 
It's not the temerature. What are you trying to feed him? When did you get him? Maybe he is just getting used to his new home. 72 degrees should be fine. I had some Bass in a koi pond that got in the uper 50's during the winter and my Bass were still eating.

He ate mosquito fish, I got 10 days ago. At first, he ate without problem. I hope to recovery. Thanks.
 
How long has the tank been set up? Did you cycle it? What are your ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte levels? Bass are generally pretty good eaters, it could very well be a water quality issue.

The parameters are OK. I set up some more oxigenation and my fry bass is eating, exactly 2 mosquito fishes. so happy!!

Whenever someone says their water parameters are "ok" I get suspicious...did you really check them or is that just a guess?
Since your bass is eating now, I guess you don't really need to check them now...
