when he gets a little bigger drop a mouse in. he doesnt have to be nearly as big as you think either. especially if you use a small mouse.

I do apologise if I missed in this thread but....have your tried crickets? I had a lmb a couple of decades ago...we used to go to the lake he came from(DH brought him home from a fishing trip and we didn't think much about its legality back then)we would catch minnows for him. This little fella loved his wiggler and red worms I could even get him to jump out of the water to take it from my hand...totally awesome.
I still miss that lmb terriblyI used to love to sit by his tank and "communicate" with him....but he outgrew the tank too soon and upgrading wasn't an option so we released back into his 'hometown"The lmg has to be my favorite native fish.

Caligal, welcome to the forum, is good to have people interested in our natives, but i know as soon as others reading this thread you will start reading on why you're not to take any captured fish home and place it/them into a tank and then release it/them, you just don't do it for alot of reasons, mostly diseases, and i understand that it was a couple of decades ago and you were young and having fun, so don't get discouraged. This is a forum after all and any views are welcome( to a certain point ) and i'm glad that the LMB is your favorite native fish :me too!!!

 

[Caligal]

Yeah....thankfully I've learned ALOT since then

What species do you have?

 

[Caligal]

Hey Fatherof5,
If you were asking me what species.....I haven't kept any natives since we let the above mentioned go....I DO have a lone survivor of some fishbait that was left over from a crappie fishin' trip hubby took goin' on 3 yrs ago...'fathead' is the type my searching came up with
