    I love the tank videos! Something you could try to do for feeding Red Jr is use a straight clear tube or even the intake end of the water draining tube and drop the food in through there. The tube would fill with tank water and the food would sink down inside the tube. You would be able to drop the food right in front of him and Sherrif won't be able to eat it all on it's way down.

  • @PurpleDrac
    @PurpleDrac 4 года назад +5

    hell yeah. Bama bass is spot on with the details. They do grow fast! And most catches if not taken care of properly tend to die off usually in that first week of being in an aquarium. But as juveniles they have a much higher survival rate and are much more likely to make it to adulthood than they would if you was to bring them in as adults.
    Tank size in that case doesn't matter. If they're not acclimated they will undoubtedly go into shock and usually die within the first few hours of being in the tank unless you release them. I had a few friends that tried it they didn't last. It worked with catfish cuz they're stationary and don't require as much movement. They'll do a few sprints then sit. whereas bass they usually like being able to move. They'll sit from time to time but they're mostly mid to top water fish and like movement.

    Caught a juvy Lm bass in Washington , a really pristine lake , and decided he'd be my pet. He was 5 inches. Kept him for a few months in a 10 gallon . I remember feeding him feeders. I put 4 in and in less than 20 seconds he'd swallowed every last one. Something to behold. And I'm saying that as someone who had a piranha previously . Had to move to GA, so bye bass, I found a small pond for him to dominate . On the way he jumped out of the transfer tank onto floor mats at stop light , I got out to grab him quick and he flipped out onto the street. Quickly snagged him up, put him in the water and was in his home 5 minutes later. The war stories that fish hopefully told his grandkids. !

    Get a Pothos plant, take it out of the pot, wash off the dirt on the roots, and place the plants roots into the tank, or in the return space in a hang on the back filter if you have one. Make sure there is light for the pothos, and it will suck up tons of nitrates from your tank. You can also add floating plants that will use atmospheric CO2 and take up nitrates and nutrients from the tank and add O2 into your tank. Avoid duckweed as it is impossible to get it out of your tank totally once it is in there. Water Sprite, Water lettuce, Salvinia, and Water Hyacynth are good floating plants. Be aware the pothos will grow huge and spread out along your tank. Would love to see you get some yellow perch and some native catfish.

    I know this video is older but just an fyi while crayfish will eat most anything it can get its claws on adult crayfish need more vegetation in its diet and may start eating your plants. To avoid this boil zucchini slices for 15-20 mins let cool and sink into tank. A clip magnet works great for this using a magnet on outside to place and remove. Always remove the zucchini after 24 hours though so it doesn't break down and affect water.

    Haha! I had to subscribe when the fish yawned! That’s too awesome, I came to this video cause I just got a baby bass about the size of my middle finger and I have A question. I gave him minnows and I woke up today and my little brother dumped the whole bucket (about 10 Minnows) should I be concerned? I just left them so swim until he ate them.
