@charlieblanchard4968 7 лет назад

I love the tank videos! Something you could try to do for feeding Red Jr is use a straight clear tube or even the intake end of the water draining tube and drop the food in through there. The tube would fill with tank water and the food would sink down inside the tube. You would be able to drop the food right in front of him and Sherrif won't be able to eat it all on it's way down.

@PurpleDrac 4 года назад

hell yeah. Bama bass is spot on with the details. They do grow fast! And most catches if not taken care of properly tend to die off usually in that first week of being in an aquarium. But as juveniles they have a much higher survival rate and are much more likely to make it to adulthood than they would if you was to bring them in as adults. Tank size in that case doesn't matter. If they're not acclimated they will undoubtedly go into shock and usually die within the first few hours of being in the tank unless you release them. I had a few friends that tried it they didn't last. It worked with catfish cuz they're stationary and don't require as much movement. They'll do a few sprints then sit. whereas bass they usually like being able to move. They'll sit from time to time but they're mostly mid to top water fish and like movement.

@johnwalden2784 4 года назад

8.0 to 8.5 ideally, If the tank has plenty of surface agitation and access to fresh air then you shouldn't have to worry about PH

@Shaden0040 7 лет назад

Get a Pothos plant, take it out of the pot, wash off the dirt on the roots, and place the plants roots into the tank, or in the return space in a hang on the back filter if you have one. Make sure there is light for the pothos, and it will suck up tons of nitrates from your tank. You can also add floating plants that will use atmospheric CO2 and take up nitrates and nutrients from the tank and add O2 into your tank. Avoid duckweed as it is impossible to get it out of your tank totally once it is in there. Water Sprite, Water lettuce, Salvinia, and Water Hyacynth are good floating plants. Be aware the pothos will grow huge and spread out along your tank. Would love to see you get some yellow perch and some native catfish.

@victorflores8033 7 лет назад

you should for sure do a bass Olympics! I think they would all do great!

@devencastilleja5014 5 лет назад

Haha! I had to subscribe when the fish yawned! That’s too awesome, I came to this video cause I just got a baby bass about the size of my middle finger and I have A question.

@funniguy3709 7 лет назад

Rabbit Creek Outdoors As long as it's big enough. If you're keeping a bass outside you should get a bigger bass so racoons and birds can't prey on it. Or get a big pool so it has enough room to hide. Check out Catch Em All fishing on RU-vid he has a round above-ground pool full of big fish!

@duncanallen172 7 лет назад

Do you salt bath the minnows and crawfish before putting them in the 300 gallon? I heard its a good way to kill or attack any fish diseases or bacterial infections that the bait could carry and introduce to the tank. And theirs another pet bass named Dyna, a 5 pound largemouth in a 300 gallon aquarium owned by the channel Lip RipperZ Inc and shes an eating machine.

@Jazz5777 10 месяцев назад

Caught a juvy Lm bass in Washington , a really pristine lake , and decided he'd be my pet. He was 5 inches. Kept him for a few months in a 10 gallon . I remember feeding him feeders. I put 4 in and in less than 20 seconds he'd swallowed every last one. Something to behold. And I'm saying that as someone who had a piranha previously . Had to move to GA, so bye bass, I found a small pond for him to dominate . On the way he jumped out of the transfer tank onto floor mats at stop light , I got out to grab him quick and he flipped out onto the street. Quickly snagged him up, put him in the water and was in his home 5 minutes later. The war stories that fish hopefully told his grandkids. !

Love your channel. I need help! I caught a small largemouth bass fry about 1” in length. His tail fin is completely missing. I think he was attacked that’s why I found him all alone in the middle of the lake. He’s now living in a 10 gallon tank by himself. What should I feed him? I tried a Flakes and pellets but it’s still too big for his little mouth. Please let me know. Thanks!

@loganbrigham6728 4 года назад

If he’s only one inch you should have just left him there there isn’t really anything you can feed him. You could try to use a small Cichlidae pellet if you still have him pretty small.

@InkedGamerWolf420 Год назад

I cycle with feeder goldfish and if they survive the cycling, then they are raised up for pets because then I know it’s good a good immune system. I’ve had goldfish with big cichlids and they work out great as long as the goldfish is same size or bigger and the cichlid has a chill demeaner
