LMB QUESTION

[Oscarboyz]

What is a good temp for lmb in a captive tank as far as water parameters what do they like ph etc...

 

[ewurm]

Optimum would probably be 65 deg F. Ph 6-6.5

 

[Derpeder]

I try to keep mine at about 75 degrees and they do really well.

The lake I got him from I pulled a ph of over 8. They are pretty hardy and I think they can live in a very wide range of water conditions. I know a lake that freezes in the winter and in the summer the shallow spots get into the 90's (water temp). We slam the bass in that lake.

my bass seem more active with temps in the 70's.

 

[ewurm]

I agree, they probably aren't too picky.

 

[muckieman]

i would have to agree 70's is the temp range

 

[Shiner]

[DrZacharyus]

they are inactive if you use water that's too warm.
