New Smallmouth Bass!

[sandtiger]

Its eating now, it ate 1 minnow yesterday, and 2 so far today. The only thing im worried about now is that it keeps twitching and rubbing its side against the rocks...any ideas?

Could be parasites, keep a close eye on him. May also be the beginning of ich, stress and change in water might do that. It may also be teh water, maybe he hasen't fully adjusted to the different water than what he was used too.

Should I medicate for parasites? Do frequent water changes? I dont know what to do!

I would just keep an eye on him now and see how he adjust. I personally don't like useing medication unless I KNOW I have to, your fish might very well be ok. Just watch him for now, check your water parems frequently and go from there.

Where do you expect me to put them? You know I dont have any other tanks for them now. Even if I had a place why would I take them out?
