Just want to share my 6 orino bass grow out I order from Jeff Rapps.. This is my first grow out from 2-3" and am hoping to keep all 6 till I get a pair.

Any tips will help.
 
Feed frozen bloodworms to start. Feed by spoon.
Then start crushing up pellets and adding them to the bw. Add more pellets to the mix overtime.
Eventually they will be eating straight pellets. Orino's are easy to train. Especially with a group.

Any advice for faster growth? Feeding them feeders or keep feeding frozen n try feeding small floating pellets?
 
I know most guys on MFK don't recommend feeders, but I recently did a test on some Ocell juvies that I started with Cichlid Gold and Massivore. Their appetites for the pellets started to decline so I started feeding them baby tilapia I've been catching in a nearby brackish pond and quarantined for about 2 weeks. Their growth started to accelerate because they were pounding the tilapia until they almost blew up! I always say that whatever the bass will eat a lot of will make them grow.

Gangster- my fault...
I'll feed them frozen for now until they get a lil bigger and decide if I want feed feeders or pellets.. so far they eating about 3 to 4 frozen brine shrimp and stomachs are really big
