I got a new pbass and i decided to plop some feeder fish in the tank and he is litterally swimming with them and not eating them. should i be concerned??
 
no. unless you bought feeders the size of the fish then i dont see anyreason to be conserned he will eat them in time.
 
When did you get him? Maybe he's freaked out still. Did he come from a store, or did you get him from another fishkeeper? Either way it might be a good idea to find out what he was eating before, and offer the same.

agreed. i have to call my lfs tomorrow and see what they are feeding the pbass. cause right now i'm having a hard time figuring it out.
 
thanks guys. as i was reading your responces he dove down and demolished 2 of them haha i guess hes doing fine. thanks for the advise!
 
Not a problem. Please look into training him onto non-live. It's work to train any predatory fish to take non-live foods, but it's worth it. There are plenty of threads on it here. :)
