Hey I'm new to these fish, starting a new pond soon in about a month.. would love to get one but needs to get big enough to not get ate by a RTC, what would be a really nice one to get?
make sure it is much larger than the rtc. The bass usually grow quick but not as quick as rtc
The ones kept at 85*F will look best and grow fastest. C. temensis would be your best bet for size, if you can keep up with the temperature.
