Thorough and detailed, very in depth information for starting such a tank, much appreciated 👍 A good filter is a must indeed and the top.

Really cool man I love seeing videos like this Im wanting to mimic a small creek ecosystem and do a few redbreast and green sunfish..I subscribed 👍 look forward to seeing more..

This is actually something I want in my office... maybe even a peacock bass. Good video.

I’ve wanted a peacock bass for a while, but I can’t bring myself to release Benny 😭 and thank you! I encourage you to check out some of my recent content such as my alligator gar series! Thanks for watching man

Very informative. Good stuff JM. I'd advise keeping Benny in sight while making the video so we can see him and get up close and personal with the items you buy. Good stuff.

Well done! We’ve been micro fishing for baby bass. Zeke keeps asking if we can keep one. Lol! Not until we find one in a store or private pond. That said, might buy a gar or peacock bass at a local store.

Great video 🤙🏼

Great video. Glad you’ve put in the work to give him a great home. Most kids your age would have given up after a few weeks. This shows a lot about your character. That you have gone out of your way to work and research as you’ve done shows you are a caring individual.

I don't have plants but I have bacteria that's good for the tank and fish but plants or any of that really isnt required and there is no way that filter is rated for 300 gallons because power filters arent rated that high and if that is a bio wheel that turns then those don't ever work to well so if its not a bio wheel and its a power filter then don't worry about it because that would be fine for that tank and u asked if u wanted to let u know if u left anything out yeah u need to test the water and have pH up and pH down to adjust your pH to around 7.0 to 7.4 for largemouth also its good to keep a heater and an all around plug in air pump to keep the water oxegenated 24\7 for proper health and growth of your fish and soon you will need a bigger tank of around 200 gallons because bass get big fast and get stressed and eventually die if the tank is to small and there isnt enough space also u can use aquarium salt to help gill functioning and eliminate diseases and heal cuts but other than that your fish looks good and you have a well made video keep up the great work man👍

I got one yesterday. Got his tank set up and everything. He jumped out of his bowl he was in when I was eating dinner. When I got back to my room he was on the floor and really dry. I revived him and he was just chillin on the bottom. This morning he was dead

If you can bring some pond water home. If not then put him in the water and leave him alone. Lights off and just let him chill

So I have a 55 gallon tank and I have 1 bass in it, and the bass is about 9 inches long. When should I move him to a bigger tank? Because I was originally supposed to get sunfish, but I ended up with a bass, and now I don’t know what to do😭 I had the bass over 2 months now. Would it just be safe if I release him back in the wild?

@FishingWithJames

3 жыл бұрын

You could release him into the wild, but it would have to be in private waters (depending on state). Here in texas you can't release them into a public body of water. And I would move him into a bigger tank pretty soon. He should be fine for now, but he's going to grow fast.

That flitter is like a 75 g filter the best filter for big tanks is a canister filter they do not make 300 g hang on bac filter and a reliable filter that size should be 200$ if it’s a 300g filter but it’s no

Great video, but I have to point out one thing. Hydrilla is an invasive species to the US. It is not a native plant. I remember when I was a kid that lakes were free of hydrilla, then it spread quickly, and there were campaigns to remind boaters to clean their boats of it to prevent spread to other lakes. www.texasinvasives.org/plant_database/detail.php?symbol=HYVE3
