My smaller bass keeps chasing my larger one into the corner and my larger one aint stickin up for himself. Could it be that hes trying to spawn cause its close to spring or does he just dislike the other one. any suggestions on what I can do, he doesnt seem to be hurting the other one but he wont live the other one alone.
 
largemouth bass in a 150 gallon
 
See my thread in the pbass section. This is normal for pbass to establish territory. You may want to get more pbass to divert the aggression.
 
A 150 is really only big enough for one lmb once they get to adult size. They can be territorial fish, it could be that there isn't enough room for them already.
 
If theyre both males I shouldnt have a problem with them in a 150 even for life in my opinion, males only get about 12-15 inches, but I dont think its lack of space cause I just moved them from the 55, they largest one is 7 inches
 
I would just keep one large mouth bass and add peacock bass.

Largemouth bass are native usually to cold water... pbass need heaters

i live in florida, I only need heaters two months out of the year and thats to keep temps stable, I could keep and have kept pbass, but the recent cold snap (unusually cold) killed them. ALhtough I'm not sure if I'll be able to find anymore cause they were dying in the canals as well
