The reason why they dont eat in the day is because they dont have cover. Being a bass fishermen Ive noticed that they strike and are more active near cover(safezones). I too have owned bass in a 125 g tank and they were super active because of the plants and driftwood cover I had. Try to mimick their natural envuronment.

Hey joey, I’m al Canadian Forves veteran with PTSD, I served 27 years from Halifax to Edmonton and tours in Bosnia and Afghanistan. I really enjoy your vids. I have a small tank with just guppies, I watch them for hours which really helps with my state of mind. I keep it small as my talent for keeping fish is limited. I just think a guppy tank would be awesome to show some of us rookies that keeping any kind of fish has something to offer. I did get my tank before watching your videos and have lost several fish, but since discovering your channel the death toll has greatly been reduced. I think your video telling us about your life was a very courages move, I have my own demons that i deal with everyday. So my hats off to you young man proud of you what ever that means to you.
Massive aquarium with micro fishes, thats the way to go.
Love the monster mini fish tank idea! As you were showing the time lapse of the feeders swimming around, I love watching how they grouped and swam around. I think doing a monster tank that has nothing but small schooling fish would be pretty incredible to witness.

Glad you decided on giving them feeders. I believe they would have passed if you hadnt. Dont listen to the inexperienced haters. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Now that they've gotten something in their bellies I would start dropping 1 feeder at a time instead of dumping them all in at once. Once they get to the point where they're anxiously waiting on that next feeder to hit the water, drop a "feeder shaped" strip of frozen tilapia in. They will most likely spit it out at 1st but just keep with it until they eventually gobble it down. I've spent countless hours over several years raising different species of Cichla and this has always worked for me. Looks to me like you're doing everything right . And the faux brick looks great!

This sounds incredibly effective. Great idea, reminds me of myself trying to convince snakes and lizards to eat. Exact same method, just a different animal and a different feeder. Nice
if you put a bunch of lily pads in the bass pond it will create some dark areas for them to feed bass like to have cover when eating
Honestly the comments on here are horrifying. Why shut someone down for being enthusiastic and wanting to talk about what they love, and showing appreciation for his fans? Have you ever watched an unboxing where the person receiving brushes it off and doesn’t seem excited? Joey is awesome for giving each item his full attention and for having so much enthusiasm and I certainly hope he doesn’t let the trolls get him down.

Guppy pond will be amazing, the multi-colors and all the movement created by them.
You should build a tv into the side of the pond and have a live camera streaming from the middle of the inside of the tank. It will look like you have got a viewing pannal. You could make it look really good especially now that you have foam as it will be similar thickness so it will be fairly easy to install!

omg yes please do a giant guppy pond, but one like the Arowana tank where you can see from the sides! That would be so pretty! I just got my first few guppies a few weeks ago and I love them! Such an animated fish lol and a pretty big change from my bettas and goldfish.

Joey, the peacocks are ambush predatores. Give them something to hide in / under like more driftwood and a lot of floating plants. That will make them feel safe and less stressed.

Guppy pond sounds so good!!!
We NEED a monster ‘nano tank’!!! So huge tank/pond, with tiny fish!
You're doing a dream job of hundreds of fish keepers. It's just pure jealousy. They wonder why you have so many subs and they don't? Well for one, it helps if you have a personality. For me it's got to be educational, interesting, engaging and entertaining. David Attenborough didn't even start broadcasting about animals, now he's a legend. His passion comes across, just like yours does. Keep up the good work and stay great.

I'd love to see your version of a monster tank with small/nano fish.

Idk but I feel like they need some structures in there. If they can defend a territory, then maybe they’ll be more aggressive to towards food

Guppy pond!! Please! Or a massive pond/tank filled with smaller schooling fish of different kinds. Also, maybe you should set up a remote underwater camera for monitoring the predator pond? It might help you come up with new ways to feed them if you can see how they behave when you're not there.
Guppy pond a must!! Do it king!!

As someone who has a guppy and danio pond, it's truly way more awesome than I thought it would be. Turtles will eventually reign, but for now its a great place to relax near

I started out as a guppy owner 3 years ago. Now I’m a Monster fishkeeper, and I have a 3ft shrimp tank on the side. Best of both worlds🙂

Set up a system that will allow the guppies to breed in the tank. Heavy top water vegetation kinda thing and even a heap of drift wood that breaks the surface. The guppies will breed like crazy eventually if you do it right.....and your feeding what your tank produces.

90% of those "FEEDER" fish would have suffocated in 2 weeks in childrens unfiltered death bowls. Instead they mercifully gave there lives so 1million+ Humans could learn about fish behaviour and respect and care for all animals...they are in another realm now but thank you all for caring about them...without there sacrifice none would ever have cared about them xx
My grandfather died today. And I came here because fish make me happy. It's funny you said about coming from a dark place. Yeah.... I'm there now.
I cant believe people would say you upload that video about your past just for views i cant believe that after i watched it i earned a whole new respect for you i always have respected you but that changed my whole perspective on you i think its awesome that fish amd aquariums changed your life i love going to watch my turtle and my gold fish its so calming love it thank you for inspiration i have gotten so many ideas watching your vids thx

I figured it was the lights because I just watched your last video and the bass seemed fine until you lifted the top off and they were all huddled in the corner. You could probably try feeding them shrimp again but with the lights off? So maybe their not used to the lights. I just discovered your channel today and have subscribed! It’s very satisfying watching the fish and learning more about how you take care of them!

If you did a pond with feeder fish you will have your own food supply for the bass. ;) You would know they are well fed and healthy.

Monster mini tank!
I fished for peacock bass on the Amazon in Peru. Most of the bass I caught were holding tight against cover like over hanging branches, bushes, logs and lily pads. They dont like bright lights from above. I think you need more structure for them hide underneath and have larger fish that swim in open water that are not shy. The other fish will give the bass confidence. Peacock bass in the Amazon use structure to protect themselves from dangers from above.
YES YES YES guppy pond/mini pond Please!!
Please do a a big tank with nano fish
Please do a giant mini fish tank! A huge tank full of tetra, guppies, and rasbora would be amazing!!!
