how long have you had the bass?? depending on how long you have had him he may still be getting used to his surroundings...i have never seen a bass starve..however i would get him started on pellets asap...ittl be much cheaper
I just want him to eat alot before i start the starving lol. I've had him and 3 outher fish sence tuesday the outher 3 are eating worms fine but the bass is eye balling the feeders but wont eat themm.. my bass looks a lil fat infront of his back fin so maybe i cought him while he was eating... I'll be adding 1-5 more fish between now and sundays soo....
I feed my little bass frozen shrimp, flakes, pellets, beefheart, bloodworms, crickets, and he also munches on algea and duckweed that is in his tank. Good luck with yours I love mine. He is so cool and very very personable.

I have kept bass that refused to eat for 3 weeks and some that ate the day I caught them. Wait it out, he'll eat when he needs to at least.
just out of curiosity there have been many posts about small bass in tanks lately.........doesn't evey state have a size limit for taking these fish? You can't touch one for a tank here under 12 inches.

yea i think thyere are a couple of threads on the next page
i know here in CO in most of the lakes the minimum bass to keep is 15 in but theyre pretty easy to smuggle lol
Florida is over stocked with bass and bluegill.. No lie u can throw a castnet in the lakes/ponds/rivers near my house and get maybe 5-20 bass or bluegill at a time.. its crazy..
