BREEDING LARGEMOUTH BASS

[Zmuda]

alot of fish are wild that breed in captivity lol

I know that.... I doubt that you have anywhere near what fisheries have on there hands.. have you ever been to one?? They dont have fish tanks to breed fish.. they have acres upon acres on small and big ponds..

I actually have....one in palmsprings thats outta business now....we're talking about one pair of fish not a commercial project....and those acres of land are for mostly raising the fish....and for the breeding ponds they have many pairs of fish thats why they need such a big pond...its more economical to breed multiple pairs of fish in a large pond then having each pair in their own tank:...glass is a lot more expensive then concrete or dirt ..how wud breeding a bass be any different from lets say a huge dovii pair or a pbass? Just different size that they reach maturity

I definitely believe breeding largemouth bass in a aquarium is possible, with 125+ gallons, temperature slowly rising towards 70-80 degrees for a time in the year, find substrate like tiny river pebbles or sand to make a bed, plenty of diverse foods for nutrition, right lighting conditions, good water perimeters, and two healthy bass with opposite genders, you should be seeing some fry soon enough. I have a 125 gallon aquarium with a 1.6 pound bass and she is one of the most happy and healthy bass I’ve seen. I’ll be adding a male around the same size and I’ll update y’all if they spawn.
