Finaly A Largemouth

[WhiteDevil]

it should, my wifey jsut got me a flat back angled 75g for fathers day. I am not sure what direction I am headed with it, Id love a game tank but 75g is way too small for the fish I want to keep.


Nice largemouth, and my offer is still open about taking in your game fish when they get too big for your tank. I just put a 42 pound flathead into the tank last weekend at work. for some reason I dont think its social, it likes to fight alot.

well my cat is about 1' 3" will he get eaten?

[WhiteDevil]

nope, we got some 5" panfish in the same tank as the cats and bass, even in the walleye/musky tank there as 4" panfish that dont get eaten.

Catfish are social fish, they truly are a community fish they can live pretty much in any body of water and rarely do they get eaten because of their spines.

Do you work at a Bass Pro Shops WD?

He will be fine.

We had a world record fish donated to our kansas city aquarium but it died on the way from the mississippi river to kansas city,mo. It was a 125 pound blue cat. We have never had any injuries to the fish at work, only pecking order squabbles but that is 100% natural to animals.

We arent gonna cook him up and eat em, we got enough cats around here for that. Seriously it couldnt be going to a better place.

Nice work on the game fish tank!

I had a few rock bass and bluegill in one a few years back. Fed minnows from the bait shop as has been suggested also. Consider a qt tank for the minnows. I got a batch of sick ones that I believe ended up killing off almost my whole tank. I came to the conclusion that some bait shops care little about keeping the minnows healthy, just alive long enough to sell. After all, they're bait.

Good luck.

Yeah, please get a 10g QT tank for the feeders, not onl will it keep your fish healthier it will keep a nice on hand supply of food. Pay attention to the weather and local fishing reports, that info will explain alot about your LM's behavior in your tank. Its really neat.

Ok, i have a spare 15g that will work.

here is a pic of big blue and the bass:
