As you know i just bout 4juvi tems and 2 juvi orinos.. they eat bloodworms but 2 of the tems eat only feeders.. is it ok to feed them feeders everyday?
 
As babies like that it is good to keep them nice and full. A full pbass is a happy pbass and they have a lot of growing to do. If feeders is what it takes do what you got to do. Shouldn't be nothing wrong with that. With 6 babies, do not be surprised that a coupel eat more than their own share. A dominant hierarchy will be established early on, you will see it. And further more, you will notice over time some grow quicker than others. They are the most dominant.
Good luck bro!!!!
 
ok thankyou.. So as long as i keep them full the bigger ones wont try to eat the littler ones..(When i start to notice a considerable size diffrence between them) Also can i see pics of you set-ups and P.Bass

I woudn't go that far. Some will outgrow others though I guarantee that. There will be a hierarchy established in teh tank though. Some will grow faster and stouter than others. I don't think it will be so quick that they will eat each other though, but pretty quick.:D
 
if one does,t keep up then the bigest might try to eat him, but if kept feed and constant water changes and high temps they grow very fast.
 
Should be fine.. My smallest one Was the boss...

and for emphasis P-Bass are PISCAVORES and should be treated as such for at least the juvie period into young adolecent period at least .Personal opinion of course :)

:iagree:


they grow super fast on a live fish diet for the first few months, i keep mine on guppies, rosy reds and goldfish until they hit 6-7 inches and switch them over to prepared, so far i have them all taking pellets, krill and market shrimp
