I am currently raising a pet Largemouth bass in a 65 gallon and will upgrade down the road when needed. But my question is, I wish to grow the bass as big as possible and then release it into a private pond(not a random one). I know aquarium fish should not be released in the wild due to them most likely not belonging in that ecosystem. But does that go for Bass as well if it’s a private pond and I treat the bass for internal parasites for awhile before releasing?
