Hello hello
Bass lover I suggest that you buy the BIGGEST tank you can afford Nothing less then 4 ft if the fish is less then 100G if u want bigger then nothing smaller then 6ft but take width and height into consideration as well u want over 500L at a Minimum, Brand new they just too expensive. Junk mail and some of the local forums are great bets.The tank should come with a sump(filter system that uses another tank underneath the stand)If there is no sump dont bother buying a filter as the filters for less then 2000 are inadaquate for a tank that size expect to pay 3000+ for a proper filter (u want the fish to live a looong life right) I would suggest that instead of getting a filter get the tank drilled and an overflow created, this will be for your filteration. And will be extremely effective.Once all is set up nice and pretty ensure that the tank has been cycled for at least a week before u add your bass Remember u want 1 inch of fish for every gallon of water. also remember the more fish and the bigger they are the more food u will have to provide and the more cleaning and maintainance that will need to be done.
Thats just the basics its REALLY Simple once u have the tank.
POP me a Pm if you want more info

have had my bassy, stanley, for almost a year now!
tell you what you learn so much and its great fun!he was getting abit big for his tank so we built him a pond with tilapia as fodder and i love watchin him hunt!!!before u just threw a few tilapia in his tank and before they knew where they were he gobbled them up!
his fav food include:
1)earthworms
2)gecko's!!(awesome topwater bite)
3)small fish usually tilapia or kurpers
4)frogs
be careful not to put too many in a bowl...they're quite aggressive bout guarding their stump. oh and on that note u must put some form of cover in the tank but thats stating the obvious i hope
tight lines

Damn...i wish i could afford a tank like that...That sounds nice and all...but hey im not gona spend over R3000 for a tank, id rather use that money and myself some prober rods and reels with allot of tackle!hehehehe
One day when im older and rich, ill get the tank!LOL
But thanks for the tips guys! you guys made me so excited!!
Just one last question!Will a pond outside with a good filter system be cheaper than a tank...depends maybe the size of the pond, hey?
