Bass Fingerling

Does anyone know where I can buy some baby bass? I want to put a couple 3-4 inches fingerlings in my aquarium.

im not sure, id get ahold of someone from dnr, theyd know.. i did the same thing but i got them out of a creek behind my house, feed em gupies, and the gupies just make more babies so it works out good.

How big is your tank and did you have any trouble keeping them?

If you are anywhere close to Patoka, Andry's Fish Farm in Birdseye can probably help.

i have a 50 gallon. ive had some grow big enough that i had to put them in my little pond but others didnt adjust as well and died pretty quickly. seems like they do either really well or not good at all

I've always heard it was against the law to have a bass captive. Keeping one in a tank also will stunt it's growth because of the size of any tank. I've seen stunted bass in a pond before, not pretty.

A stunted fish would be long and skinny result of a poorly managed pond. I think an aquarium fish, if healthy, would be short and fat since there would be no shortage of food.

if bass pro can do it then why cant anyone else? .. and yes it does stunt there growth, but goldfish get stunted too, no one seems to care about that.

As far as Bass Pro goes I believe they have a permit to keep Bass in tanks along with the other fish they have. Gold fish are supposed to be tropical fish meant for a tank.

well i dont think any fish was meant to be in a tank. you may be right about the permit but im not sure, ive never heard anything one way or the other. but we are raising tilapia in my agriculture science class soon, ill ask if we have a permit to do so.

If you have a seine or a trap for minnows you can usually catch some bass minnows in the spring through summer where you know there are bass.I catch a lot of fingerlings in my trap and I just throw them back. Traps catch a good amount of bait and cost around $8.00

If it's 12 inches I'm pretty sure you can do what you want with it. And if you buy fingerlings, It should be the same as buying a turkey from a hatchery. You can't catch em but you can buy em
