I've got a 4" in a grow out by himself right now that's still on live. I usually keep the feeders in a little 5 gallon and just toss in 2-3 a day. If I just dump them all when I buy them (12 at a time) will the little bass keep eating till it bursts? Don't wanna kill the little guy but having that extra 5G running is annoying, just wanna make sure. Thanks!
 
thanks, got him from this little lfs that also sells souvenirs over on mulberry. everyone calls it mr. miyagi's spot 'cause the owner looks like mr. miyagi lol. He's a cool dude though. I got my arowana from him too, that guy's almost 2' now hehe.
 
ur pbass is fine.. they know when to stop eating
 
I have a 4" pbass mono and the fish eats like 10-12 goldfish within an hour of putting a dozen in the tank he is nuts he looks like a mini version of a 18lbs largemouth bass the belly of the fish just looks abnormal like its going to pop or get stretch marks.
 
not even my 8" mono eats like this the 4" mono is nuts he just doesnt know when to stop he stops when they are all gone. Sometimes he will have 3 tails sticking out of his mouth its crazy I always think he's going to choke or blow up from over eating
