I setup one crate, with a airstone, airpump, 1200L/H pump/filter system and watergrass to hide and breed in. Its currently cycling. The crate actually looks better than some people I know's fish tanks ... LOL!!! I bought 10 females (3 are preggies already) and 4 males. The lady at the petshop are keeping them in a separate tank until my tank has done its cycle!

Happy to report that Nunu, the bass ate again today and its swimming about like crazy!
Fantastic man by the time you collect them all should be pregnant, wheres the pics?

then you have to supply the food? The guppies are still to small and will be eaten by the Oscars before the bass gets to them! Bring a kriek or two!

At the bass lure shows in america, they have big tanks with bass in to show you how effective their lures work. The catch is that they dont feed the bass for a long time and then the bass will go for anything dropped into the tank, even barone wrappers... hahaha!!!

I had to put in the guppies in Yesterday afternon late as the lady at the petshop couldnt keep them any longer, she had some sh1t excuse. The tank cycled only for about 24 hours but luckely more than 50 percent of the water in the container came from the big tank. So the water tested fine. Luckely only one big guppie died by thismorning. I think it was stress related. So I gooied it in the tank and Nunu munched it within seconds.

Observations:

During the day, the bass chases the dollars around. Not in a agressive way, it looks more like play. I dont think he is trying to eat them because they sleep right next to each other at night with less than a cm between them. Secondly, the Dollars are mutch too big for its mouth. Luckely the Dollars are extremely fast, not even the Oscars can catch them.

The bass get very active after a feed!
The bass likes playing in the bubbles and current! He actually spends most if his time jolling in one side of the tank, the side with the most structure off cause.
I can also see that its checking itselve out in the reflection, maybe thinks its a partner!
All finns of all the tankmates are still intact.

One big happy family for now! But I am still making plans to move the bass to its own bigger tank, will make a plan during December! But luckely the tank is still big enough for them all.
