  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
From like amazon or something so I can order it
Yes. Ur lfs will carry it or can order it as well. What ever is easie for you. Try the link by gangster and get the pbass on pellets.
 
Trying not to sound like a total noob but that do you mean by dip. Like put some of the stuff in a bowl and put the bass in it and then back in the tank or what.

Yes but more in a bucket.
Not trying to sound like a noob again but Ifs?
No worries. It’s LFS, meaning local fish shop.
I am now noticing it on his pectoral fin

The fins aren’t too much of a worry and should be ok.
 
I would remove the Bonsai Tree. Replace it with a larger driftwood of some sort.
PBs (alone in that tank) and at that size easily spook with minimal surrounding movement. Being spooked, instict tells them to find somewhere to hide.
And that Bonsai Tree doesn't help.

Dimmer lights or room lighting would calm it down.

Another "to feed" way is that to get some larger Tiger Barbs as dithers and a "teacher fish" for your PB to start trying pellets. Thats what I did for all juvie PBs i grow out to eventually go on a strict pellet diet.

This method is only temporary. Tiger Barbs need to be rehomed once PB readily eats pellet.
