Thanks for all of the info...I'll start the worm farm ASAP. As for space, I am currently using a 30 gallon Hex. Yeah, probably too small for 3 bass. I'm thinking of releasing the LM and just raising the smallie, (the smallie beats the hell out of the other bass anyways). Smallie has bright red eyes too.

For temps, I read that cooler water is better for smallies I have turned off my heaters as the summer weather keeps the water at approx 68-75.

In the winter I'll keep the water around 62-65. It's interesting to study their behavior....how they are territorial, how they ambush prey, etc...

In the mean time, gotta make a trip to the pet store for more feeder goldfish....they ate 38 of them in the last week.
