Your Questions About Largemouth Bass

Robert asks…

Does anyone know anything about keeping a largemouth bass inan aquarium at home?

I’ve got an aquarium at home that I’d like to set up a habitat for a

largemouth

bass

. Hasanyone done this before and if so do you have any suggestions for me?

LMBassFish answers:

My husband has raised baby ones but not sure if he’s done a big one. He kept the aquariumratio at 1? of fish per gallon of water. That’s a LOT of water for a large mouth bass since youmust count width of fish as well as length.Treat the aquarium the same as you would any other….filter, oxygen…all the bells and whistles.Feed him more than just fish food…give him veggies and other stuff…but keep the tank CLEAN.Set the aquarium up for two weeks before adding the fish, and then check him every day to besure he’s healthy. Clean out anything he doesn’t eat within 3 minutes. Do a 20% waterchange, cleaning under the gravel with a syphon cleaning tool…about monthly. 1 / 2
