Super User gulfcaptain Posted December 2, 2015 Super User Posted December 2, 2015 Update on the 2 largemouth Bass in my aquarium. Ive had them since they were 3 inches long, and now they are easily over a pound , both of them happy in their 200 gallon tank in my garage. they have heat, and i make sure they have plenty of room to manuver. going to be building them a pond out back cause me and my GF have grown way too attached to them. (originally caught from Casitas , Cali). They eat some goldfish, but we try and feed them rosy red minnows, and we supplement their diet with big fat night crawlers which helps with the parasites. one of them likes to be pet by my GF. love it when they eat the minnows watching them suff their mouths till fish are spilling out of their mouths. I'd stay with the rosy reds (fathead minnows) instead of goldfish. I'd set up a tank to house them before feeding and feed them a healthy diet as so when you feed your two new pets they get the best nutritional value as well as you can kill any disease or parasites prior to feeding. Also look at ghost shrimp or if you can find smaller crayfish to feed them it will help keep them healthy as well. And they like crickets too. Variety is the best. Thought about doing the same thing with one of my extra tanks I have and getting a couple small fish to have in there before returning them the next spring. Quote
