New to p-bass, advice plz

[mahemaheman85]

I'm thinking mono too but clearer shots once settled will help with the I.d.
Keep the temp at 87 degrees and the oxygen high.
Monos, ocells & orinos usually max at 24inches.
Do a little search at some of the older threads to up your knowledge on cichla and you'll be fine. There's a whole thread as well with everyone setups on it. Enjoy your new pbass

really 87 degrees??

And i will take a better pic tomorrow

You can go even higher. My baby pbass are at about 91 degrees.

Don't know what kind of advice your looking for but this is what I've gotten through the years:
Keep temp high increases metabolism and fish require higher heat.
The darker the substrate more likely to get more color out of your fishm
Good filtration, very messy fish with fecal matter.
Get off live foods as early as possible, prepared foods are healthier and again another way to bring out vibrant colors.
Feed often when small
MOST IMPORTANTLY enjoy your fish...

[mahemaheman85]

i had a school of 12 in there now there all gone, in 24 hrs lol, im treating some feeders for him though, it sucks cause i have no idea what they were feeding it, so im just gonna keep it on feeders for a bit then try to get it on pellets

Don't know what kind of advice your looking for but this is what I've gotten through the years:
Keep temp high increases metabolism and fish require higher heat...This is true
The darker the substrate more likely to get more color out of your fish.. mine are in a thank with sand, and there colors are beautiful.
Good filtration, very messy fish with fecal matter. I never see my bass Poo.
Get off live foods as early as possible, prepared foods are healthier and again another way to bring out vibrant colors. True once again
Feed often when small...True as well.
MOST IMPORTANTLY enjoy your fish...
