Hand Feeding Our Pet Bluegill and Bass!! 

It's Tank Tuesday! Let us know what you would like to see in next Tuesday's video or ask your questions about our pets and aquarium below. We go over the top comments at the end of every video.

This tank is absolutely AMAZING!!! Making my 50 gallon tank look like child's play

You should take the hooks off of some lures and see how they react when you move them around in there.

Bass eat crawfish don't they. I fish for bass often, and I've often used crawfish lures (and real crawfish a few times). Have the bass in this tank tried to eat the crawfish?

use the old tank to raise minnows so you dont have to buy them.

I think that you should use the old tank for Bonnie and Clyde to make a bed if they do end up spawning so that The sheriff doesn't eat the eggs.

Who else loved Tank Tuesday?!☺

In the 55 gal tank you should use it for creek species tank.like if you agree

Tank is looking awesome! 👍

Could u do these 2 times a week

You should raise baby bass in the old tank

The Googan squad should take notes here

Would you consider a bottom feeder fish such as a Channel Catfish or maybe even a large Pleco?

Making the old 55 a minnow breeding tank or maybe getting a water tote so you could have a lot more would be a good idea. Lessens the chances of transferring any parasites to your fish.

You should get a crappie

.. weekly water change??? ... what?....I haven't changed my aquarium water in 8 months, only topping off as needed, and my fish are at least 5 million times healthier than everyone else's, and the echo system is thriving wonderfully....

Put a catfish in it @BamaBass

For your drift wood, boil it. I boiled mine for a long time I probably spent 6 hours boiling mine and now 6 months later it is still releasing more you won't get it all, but it will help.

Here's a question for the next episode. How big do you see Bonnie and Clyde realistically getting, like do you see them getting over 5lbs or even bigger and what will you do to accommodate their much bigger size?

Can u feed them a golden shiner like you fished with in your last video

there is a chemical that you can get and it will coat whatever you put it on and seal it from letting chemicals out, the guys on the tv show tanked use it all the time

If Bonnie and Clyde spawned would you temporarily remove sheriff from the tank so he wouldn't eat the fry?

Put a big shad in the tank

hey if bony and clide spawned together would the fry act natural and eat in a tank that they were born in. if so you should do a fish giveaway. My friend and i own a miniature pond with bass and bream in it and we already have them eating minnows and worms.

Get a new fish for the tank with Bonnie Clide and Sheriff plz

No minnows or worms were injured making this video. Many were however, eaten. Hahaha!!! 😂😂👍👍

BamaBass Do you fish lake eufala.

I tell the difference between Bonnie and Clyde by looking at their back fins, Bonnie's fin is cut in the middle, Clyde's is normal with no cuts

These are live plants and moss?

how much does Bonnie weigh and how long is she? I have a pet bass in my tank and man they sure do grow like a rocket thanks Bamabass.

What's Bonnie and Clydes favorite food

Nice setup. I’m new to doing Bluegill and Golden Hawaiian Tilapia..others to follow...Trout soon. I’m doing lots of videos on the processsesss s es.

Use the old tank to farm minnows for the tank

Can you put more than one feeder fish at a time? If no why? Thx love your videos

Lily pads are a great idea

When bonny and clide get bigger will u feed them bluegill or bigger goldfish

Can you start doing these at least 2 times a week?

u should raise their food in the other tank so u dont have to go out and catch/buy the food all the time

It seems like Sheriff always eats the most lol

Put the play button in the middle of the bama bass letters when u put them in the tank

Can you put a gar in it @ bama bass

If you were going to put another fish in the tank what would it be ????

OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS! KEEP THIS SERIES UP PLEASE

you can always boil the wood to take any thannin or chemicals out...

Put crappie in there old tank

you should get some good submersible pumps and hook them up to the pythons hose. if you get a strong enough pump you can drain the tank for water changes in about 10 minutes. just using a siphon for large aquariums isn't efficient in the least.

you coud give the old tank to me :D

You should put Black Crappies and some Brook Trout in your tank i picked Brookies because they don't get very big Like if you think this is a good idea!

you guys should but a back drop in the tank

Put some catfish and crappie in the 55 gallon tank

im going to by a blue gill bass and poot it in a 10 gallon

The tank is looking fantastic. Really liked the slow-motion feeding footage. HEY, WHAT ABOUT ADDING SEVERAL OR MORE CYPRESS KNEES IN VARIOUS SIZES & HEIGHTS??? I'm talking about some really slender cypress knees of around 3" at the base, tapering down to 1.5" or so at the top. Randomly placed across the back with a few shorter ones in front of those, to add some depth to the look, or favoring one of the rear corners. That would look very realistic & beautiful, plus they wouldn't really take up much space & would compliment everything else already in there. ???????????

Awesome video bud! How can I get a live Bluegill without catching from the wild??

you should consider turning the old tank into a native creek fish tank. You coyld put darters, sunfish, crappie, creek chubs ext... And mabey even a mudpuppie... would be neat!

Where I live the blue gill is really small, so I was wondering why the bass didn't eat your blue gill. Then I saw how damn big that blue gill is.

I recommend you get a pond pump form home depot or Menards it's so much faster than the pythons. And you only use water to refill the tank it save half the money on water

I have been reading up on keeping game fish in a tank here in Minnesota. I think a small school of black crappie would be awesome and they're a beautiful fish, IMO...

Good video!

Can you do more feeding clips i think its cool to see how bass eat. Can you also drop bigger fish in the tank?

loving the content bama bass tank looks incredible never seen anything like it they really are getting big

Just found your channel man I a rescued a bluegill from our lake that I accidentally snagged hooked I was trying to catch bass and he was biting on it and I hooked him towards the back part of his tail so he was bleeding pretty bad anyways I have a tank that’s outside I’m having issues with algae and I am totally new at this thing I have 100 gallon tank and it is under a porch but it still gets about three hours of sunlight in the morning Will be watching your other videos but what would you recommend as a solution besides bringing The tank inside I can tell yall one thing I really learned a lot just from this one video thank you

Bluegill are ballsy fish. I get bites on large lures that a bluegill should never attempt to eat. Bluegill would be our panfish piranha if they had teeth. How long is the sheriff?

Try feeding Red and Red Jr frozen corn. They will love it. That's what we feed ours. Great video. You and Liz Check out our channel if you like. Great video. 👍

Do a giveaway with the 55 gal tank I've been saving up for a bigger tank but I'm not close yet

I have a crappie warmouth and channel cat in my tank. thinking about putting 2 largemouth or 2 smallmouths in my tank which one should I catch and put in my tank!

We kept a bunch of bait minnows we caught in a trap in a tank along with a 1/2 dollar sized bluegill that got in the trap. A day or so later we noticed the minnows swimming around and none of them had eyes. The blue gill was too small to eat them, but aggressive enough to suck out their eyes.

I put a little bass i caught fishing once in my fish tank ,. I had about six danios in there.( They resemble minnows). I came back an hour later and it ate all my danios. Lol..

I hade 2 dogs named Bonnie and clide they died );

So with this many fish what is the food bill? I am very interested in doing something like this but the food bill has me scared. Do you also keep the minnows in another tank or do you make daily trips to get them?

Loving the Tank Tuesday videos. I am in the Czech Republic for 3 weeks (1 to go). Every Tuesday evening, I get my update on the 300 gallon. Liked the additional plants this week. Amazed at how Sheriff holds his own with the bass. By the way, I am from Dothan. If you don't mind saying, where are you?

Love this series guys! I'm always hungry for more. Maybe you could start breeding your own feeders in the old tank to help sustain the big one. Good luck out fishin! 🇺🇸

I get nothing but pure happiness when you guys post videos, you guys are just amazing.

with the old tank you should use it to store the Minos or if Bonnie and Clyde mate put the fry in that tank

The bass will only spawn if you lower the temp then slowly raise it again, inducing what would happen out in nature.

Ive brought in 2 5 lb largemouth bass in my 270 gallon tank. I have a huge filtration system, but after 6 months, I lose them, I find them floating upside down, again, after 5 to 6 months. I don't do a 50 percent water change maybe twice in that time period. What is killing my bass? If I ad a UV sterilizer bulb setup maybe??

Hey Bama, I have a 55 gal tank now, I have a spot, rock bass, and big sunfish bluegill. I have tried to put crawfish in the tank, but they have not been surviving...Do you do something different to support them? Please let me know. Thanks!

Maybe tank Tuesday and Thursdays?

You should use the old tank for breeding minnows to feed Bonnie Clyde and sheriff

Has any of you raised bluegill from small/baby to full size also done angel fish from small/baby to full size? I ask as I’m new to bluegill raising and have experience with angel fish. ...I’m looking to find out if they grow in size or weight as much as the angels....... ...heck less than a year and I think they are using less food yet growing faster in size & weight than my comet goldfish. Feel free to check my videos and progressessing aqua systemesses s s.

i would get 2 stripped bass hybrids and a baby flat head catfish for the 55

You should add a war mouth, green sunfish, and like 2-3 pumpkin seeds. They would be a great addition to your wild caught tank. I have had blue gills, spotted and largey's, spotted sunfish, warmouth, wild oscars, Mayan cichlids, shellcracker, bullhead cats, and a big pleco that was caught off a crank bait

Will you ever dig a pond for these fish? Nothing too big but a one or two thousand gallon pond would be cool once they outgrow the 300

Raise a walleye in the 55 then move him to the big tank

Whatever you decide to do, please do not get a catfish or a pleco. Everyone thinks that are "cleaner" fish but they aren't. The only plecos that clean well are smaller ones (i.e. ancistrus) that would just get eaten. If you add anything, sunfish, ideally pumpkinseeds, are cool looking fish that would add color and have a decent chance of survival if grown out.

You should put a pleco or some other type of bottom eating fish to keep cleaning to a minimum especially with the addition of drift wood.

man. i miss my native tank. i had 3 gills, a green, a blue cat and a craw. my smaller secondary tank i raised guppies for a supplemental food source. they reproduce fast! the best thing i did was i started a culture of mealworms (darkling beetles). my gills loved them! actually. i have a few videos, if you wanted to check them out!

Fantastic, Large Tank ... however the Fish are rather pale looking.. have you thought of Keeping Yellow and Red Oscars ?? similar carnivourous fish :-)

Watch the tank water go from green to brown

How natural can this be with a little house seating in the middle of your tank? Sorry but these types of decor OK on a little kid 10 gallon with a gold fish for fun. They make your beautiful 300 gallon look a bit childish. Sorry

Why do you have live plants and the fake houses in the same tank? And why bass and blue gill instead of tropical fish? Been in the hobby for over 25 years and am just wondering.

live food is NOT safe it almost certinaly will give them a diesease and there not healthy and it may seem fine now ,but you will see them getting sick i woulg reccomend pellets and if you must feed live fish quaritine the fish for at least 3 month .....you have a great channel just thought you outta know :)

Try feeding them tree frogs and lizards. They love those. The bass that I've had ate worms too.

Catch wild minnows & use the 55 gallon tank as a holding tank for the minnows/bass food.

You should use 55 gallon as a quarantine tank for the feeder fish. Feed these feeders high quality pellet so as to gut load them. This will allow your fishes to enjoy high quality food without going through the torturous procedure of pellet train them. It also prevent any disease from transmitting to the basses and bluegill.

No questions, but 2 suggestions. 1st, y'all should drop some crickets in the tank. that'd be fun to watch. 2nd, a turtle in the other tank would be cool. Maybe a softshell.

Y’all think I can put my blue gill and oscers together ? Fighting I don’t think they will but environment wise I’m not sure, I don’t know if a tropical climate will bother the blue

With that size tank I would run a drain pipe behind it just like you’d have behind a washing machine and set up an overflow and an auto water changer, put a carbon filter on there so you don’t have to worry about your tapwater having chlorine and if your parameters are good you can just leave water running into your tank slowly all the time and not have to worry about doing water changes. If you want to get fancy you can hook up a sprinkler timer to it and just have it turn itself on whenever you program it to if you don’t want to leave it on all the time.

You know, a redbreast, pumpkinseed or longear would be pretty in that 50 gallon tank.

Will bass eat fish food. I got a pet bass and when I'm not at home my family doesn't like to feed it live minnows.

can you tell a difference in high and low pressure systems moving through your area when your feeding them. And also would love to see some crappies in the 55 gallon... great videos my family really enjoys them thank you
