i have a 75 galloon fish tank (4'x19'') and i was gunna go catch a bass (either stone or large mouth) a sun fish and a catfish (idk what kind... whatever is in the pond behind my house) and throw them in the tank. Would my tank be big enough for them to live in and at what point would they be too big (if they get too big i will prolly just let them go........ or eat them)
buy some minnows from a bait store and feed him every day. he's not healthy. if you can't feed him enough, you should return him to where he was caught.
yeah like what ayerbrush19 said the fish is spooked especially if you caught him on a hook. my bass took like 3 days before it felt comfortable eating. i recommend worms for its first meal.
by medication in a local fish store. I would def say this guy has internal problems such as parasties. External are obviously problems mostly ick. If this fish is still alive, either do some research to cure him.. he def is suffering...
I am a fish biologist. This fish is very unhealthy. The size of the tank is very nice, however it does not look like a freshwater tank. Large mouth bass are predators that ambush their prey. They prefer caves and rocks to hide, not just brush. The second problem is insufficient food. Based on the speed of this fish, I would say he has not a healthy diet at all. Bass are extremely fast when ambushing prey. This guy looks so weak due to no food. Water supply has caused diseases which can be cured
Depends on the size of the bass...if you catch some first of the year, a 55 gallon tank should allow you to have them for 6 to 8 months at least. Remember that if you have 10 gallons, you must only put 10 inches of fish in their...one inch per gallon. Thats a standard number.
also, if you get a bigger tank, add some more tankmates. he seems really sad and lonely. he may just be so sluggish and thin because he has tapeworms tho.
skinny ass fish feed him everything theyd eat naturally. i feed mine frogs worms goldfish minnows 4 inch praying mantis crickets huge moths. u need to get him fat they like to be fat
wow that bass looks skinny, i'd recommend feeding it some nightcrawlers from time to time, try to vary the diet, goldfish aren't the most nutritious unless you gut load them first.
that fish is really skinny. feed that thing EVERY damn day. check mine out.., but i have nothing in my tank :/

i agree with everybody in the fact that you need to feed it more, but also, you need a way bigger tank. poor fish thats practically animal cruelty
