I used to keep native fish, one of which was a large mouth bass. I had him in a 72"x24"x24" and he did fine, he went from around 12 inches to close to 24 inches before I released him.
They are easy to feed too, they eat just about anything, but do not feed live feeders unless you know FOR A FACT they are disease free and gutloaded, if possible try to raise live feeders yourself.
Setting up an aquarium explicit to the type of fish in question is an important aspect to consider when making the necessary arrangements. Read on to find out more on how to create a conducive bass environment while keeping it as a pet.
Some states do not allow keeping more than two bass in one tank, while others do not allow purchasing of the fish until they are at a certain age. You can visit your respective state offices or journals for more information regarding legality. For instance, the bagging and possession limits for largemouth bass in California is 5 and they have to be at least 12 inches.
Proper research on housing and caring for gamefish is vital before deciding to introduce one in your home. In this section, I will take you through some valuable tips on the equipment necessary to provide premium care for the bass.
An aquarium tank is the first structure you will need to set up. You can easily acquire one from a pet supply store or online stores at relatively friendly prices. When making the purchase, be sure to consider the actual size of the bass. Temperature is an important aspect when it comes to the survival of most fish. A chiller is a piece of equipment for regulating the temperature within the aquarium. In case the water gets too warm for the fish, the chiller lowers its temperature respectively.
A thermometer is also vital when keeping a bass as a pet, considering the weight and importance of temperature within the structure. It allows you to monitor the temperature at your convenience.
Mimicking the natural habitat of the largemouth bass is another practical tip when considering keeping a pet fish. Items that relate closely to its natural habitat will go a long way in making the bass or any other fish more comfortable and at home.
Good examples of these items include rock, gravel and driftwood. The bass is a heavy consumer of food. It was my very first bass. It must have been a 1 lber. I brought it home and put in a small tank. It must have been 15 gallon or something. I was planning on keeping it for awhile and release it when it became too big. Well, it didn't last long.
I mean the fish lived, but I got tired of it! The problem was the food. He didn't want to eat anything if it is not alive. And he ate so much.
This was a huge burden for me. And quite frankly, I didn't enjoy feeding live fish see being eaten at all. Bob Lusk, pond management guru, states under optimum conditions everything variable perfect, PH, forage, growing season, ect 2 pounds per acre is manageable.
Though most ponds can sustain 1 give or take per acre. Get a 25 gallon and 10 gallon tank to breed livebearers like guppies for food. Thats a huge help and i def didnt realize that that could be illegal so i may have to look into different alternatives for getting a bass for the tank!! Ya the way my family pond is its "lets go catch 10 2 lbers in a couple hours and go back home" So i think it def needs some removing of bass to get a couple big ones in there and equal out the feeding a little more lol.
Or tilapia. Thats my plan for our pond for a variety of reasons, fat bass being only one of those goals. Where do you plan on keeping the tank, gallons of water is over lb. First off I just had 50 gal hot water tank burst, been a nightmare here with 25k still on going for a month in restoration, and I can't imagine the damage gallons would do if the tank was faulty, buy new.
Don't know anything about keeping a bass, but I've had freshwater and saltwater tanks, do bass tanks require periodic water changes, filters do just so much, that would be a job draining and replacing gallons of water. Generally fish in tanks grow to the size of the aquarium. This is a good point. Dougie's probably got a basement in Illinois likely not the case in Florida, eh?
Yeah, buy new. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Paste as plain text instead. Only 75 emoji are allowed. Display as a link instead. Clear editor. Upload or insert images from URL. Write for BassResource!
