lmb wont eat

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well like i said he likes to sit under the waterfall where we cant see him, the other day we scared him out with a net, he swam away good. doesnt look sick, but i think the sore is still there. after the first week we got him, i witnessed him chase and trash a brim... i dont think he got it though. after that i thought he was eating, but like i said we are going on a month and all the food is still swimming like its all good.
 
my brother told me a rumor that he heard. it said that if the bass's fin on his back is down she is stressed... i have yet to see that fin come up on our bass
 
just wondering. I just had a lmb die from largemouth bass virus with the same eating symptoms but he had sever swelling around his head and tail areas. Hopfully its just him adjusting. best of luck to you.
 
I believe your fish is still healing. I thought I might lose my 1 foot brown bullhead after it was hooked too. It was caught on 5-28-10 and didn't eat until
6-29-10. No matter what I put in the tank, it wouldn't eat, it would move the food and constantly clean. Then I tried HBH super soft krill and spirulina pellets and it start sucking them in. The catfish eats well with no problems.
 
GREAT NEWS, all the cichlids, the blue gill and the 2 shinners vanished... thinking the bass finally ate. we went to the bait store bought a dozen large shinners. needless to say they are no longer living
