just got two very tiny pbass... about one inch, they dont seem to be doing very good they are just sitting on the bottom of the tank. temp is around 74 to 76 trying to raise it a bit ammonia is at 0 ph is about 7.2 i acclimated them for about an hour putting a little bit more water in the bag every once and a while. anything i can do or is this a normal behaviour?

update they are starting to swim around a little bit... maybe i just jumped the gun a little bit. they are probably just stressed out just concerned since they are so small it might not take much to make them go belly up

Raise the temp up more. 84 to 88 degrees.

k will do... i had to set up a new tank for them so thats why the water is cooler i have three small heaters in there tryin to do so, thanks

Is the "new" tank cycled?

 

[davis101]

i took the water out of my 175, and put the filter media in from the sump on my 175 so i think it would be considered cycled?

 

[haynchinook334]

Right on....you should be good. Give them time to settle in.

im just curious is it normal for people to usually get them at such a small size?

 

[haynchinook334]

Yeap....
