well about a year ago i had a pbass thread on here i cant seem to find, that had pics of my monos when i first go them, hmmm, anyway my monos are both over a foot now, apparently i have good luck cause i ended up with a bonded pair, spawned for me a few weeks ago, now if you know anything about pbass its insane that they spawned at such a small size, almost unheard of, so im pretty happy with the situation

heres a few crappy pics, one of my big orino too, i need a new camera and to get a pleco for the big pbass growout, so the tanks got some algae buildup, ill post a few more hopefully better pics in the next few days

Very nice! I love the looks of PBass.

There lookin' nice. What size set-up ya have planned for 'em when they're grown?

right now the largest is 13 in, and there in a 6ft 125 right now, once me and my fiance move we will get a tank with a minimum of 300 gallons, bigger if i can find without killing myself, i mite just build one, haven't really decided yet, still got a bit of time

thanks, ya they look way better in person, flash is a killer, the orino is all green with blue fins, and the monos are green and gold, hopefully i get a better camera soon

They look great, getting big too...great job with growing them up. I am sure that old thread is still around, probably burried somewhere. Found your old thread....

thats hilarious, in was in the the wrong area, goes to show how much i knew about them back then lol. i was basically an african only guy though back then

so they spawned again, second time in 2 months, im still ill prepared though, im moving in ten days, not much i can do until then so i guess we will see what nature has in store for them, i did cover my intakes though....enjoy my crappy pics of these beasts and there eggs

and its ironic they spawned now cause i had a ac110 bust on me a few days ago that was on this tank along with a can and a internal power filter, so needless to say the water quality sucks right now, compared to normal

Well good luch with the spawn.

Good luck! Hopefully something will come from it.

thanks, i figure at the worst, i loose this spawn and just have to wait for the next, shouldnt be to long though, i will have tumblers ready next time too, looking forward to having a whole bunch of lil f1 bass everywhere lol

so apparently i was wrong, i didnt think anything would come of this spawn considering my situation right now, and it looked like she was protecting dead eggs last time i looked, so i went on with business as usual, turned on the lights yesterday morning and that was the only time i even looked at the tank until now, i dont really look when i turn off the lights. also i skip a day of feeding once a week and yesterday was that day. today when i go in to feed them i see a few swarms of little tiny itty bitty free swimmers, so of course i then begin to freak out, luckily i had already covered 2 of the 3 intakes, uncovered one being on the opposite side of the tank, so anyway i managed to scoop up at least a 100, and there's at least another 50 in the tank in the plants and in the gravel, man am i kicking myself in the ass for not looking last night, i figure what i found today is just the leftovers from last nights apparent massacre, given my orino and suncats bellys are full, lol



the female is an amazing parent though ill tell you that, this is only her second spawn and shes only 13 inches, and shes protecting the crap outa the ones that stay by her, i had to stop and just accept how many i had cause she wrecked my net

oh and the babys pigged out on hikari first bites right of the bat, and i also set up a bbs hatchery that i just made real fast, so i guess ill see how my salt ratio was in the morning

heres a few on the fly pics

Awesome! Congrats!

Sweet....sounds like you are going to have your hands more full than before....Congrats on the spawn, and the parents look great.
