My LMB...a year later

[xspainx69]

Here's a picture of LMB a yeat after I caught him.Doing quite well...length seems to be slow, however.

I'd appreciate your inputs.

Hey where in NYC are you? Im in Fresh Meadows.

I used to have a Bass that big about 2 years ago. I gave him away cause I couldnt upgrade my tank. Where did you get him?

 

[cichlid fiend]

man if yall want eastern natives come to nj and ill show yall how to get them all in any size u would prefer/ check out my albums and youll see wat im talking bout

 

[le patron]

he looks kind of unhealthy. his lateral line is completely faded and he looks skinny. id suggest feeding him earthworms and other prepared foods and getting him off feeders asap. other than that, the setup looks good.

 

[MultispeciesTamer]

Dont feed earth worms feed him nightcrawlers.

Looks more like a smallmouth to me. Does he get his lines back when you feed him? The LMB I had for a few years did not always show his colors, like any fish. I do not think yours looks bad he is probably just stressed while your taking a pic of him. I fed mine Mostly minnows with worms and every now and again he got a shrew or field mouse or frog. Lived for three years until he got too big and became dinner.

dont feed only minnows, very low protein and all that. Crawfish have them most i think protein and carbs for lmb, or so i have heard, just change up the diet, feed craws, fish,worms,small mice,and anything else you can get. Crickets are also good. Just experiment, they dont get to 20+lbs eating only minnows

 

[Bottomfeeder]

looks thin but i see minnows swimming in the pics

[Mr.Kiet]

cool picture. a few questions...
1. how big was it when you first got it?
2. how big it is now?
3. also, just like others, what are you feeding it?
