They were on sale when I purchased them...

4" - $20.00
2-3" - $5.00

Why the big difference in price for 1" extra in size?
Is it because of extra time and feeding put into the 4" fish or is it because the smaller fish are a more risky investment due to being less well developed?

Is it necessary to buy 2" fish in large-ish numbers in order to ensure a few will make it to maturity? I'd be interested to know what percentage of pbass bought at 2" make it to 8"+

PS Nice looking tems:)
 
I have had pretty good luck raising pbass up, but they are definately harder to take care of at smaller sizes. After the 4-5" mark they seem to be very hardy.

Do you know where these tems came from?

I've got 3 tems approaching 3". The sooner they start looking and behaving a bit more like juvies and less like fry my stress level should go down! :(

My lfs is so bad at catching fish that I'm scared to buy just one so I get 4 to six at a time to be on the safe side....lol

Nice tems.

Thanks. Forgot about this thread..

These guys are about 13-14 inches now.. I only have 5 of them right now. Sold the rest of them to several buddies. Wish I had kept all of them now that I have the ponds.. :(
