Striper Bass?

You will be amazed how some fish can live in bad conditions. I have a friend
who has gold fishes in a outdoor pan: 20-30gallon. It is full of algae.
Changes 1/3 water every 3 months. Never bring it indoor during winter (as
cold as 25F). Food is only leftover rice from table. The gold fishes live
forever. At least for what I know more than 10 years.

Another story is from my father. We have a unused bath tub. My friends love
Crap fishing, and give us 10-20 live ones every month. We put them all in
the bath tub. Soon, many will die, and we eat the dead ones. But some can
live like forever: 1 crap is turning to god. GOD, yes. I remember it was
dark black when I first noticed the fish, then it turns to gold, some times
yellow, and kep changing colors. We eat it after 1 year, so sad. But my
father's current crap lives there for 1.5 years now, but not as cute as the
God fish.

We never put any food in it. I don't know what the fish eat in the water.

I went to seashore, and I caught 200 small stripper bass 1 months
agao, and they were all dead. Then I caught 15 of them, 2 weeks ago.
All except 4 are dead. Those 4 are about 2.5 inches long. I put them
in a spring water 1 gallon botto. They have lived for more than 10
days. I put some plants and pork in it. They eat them. They look
pretty happy, although most of the time, they just sit at the bottom,
only move when I move them or put food, or change light. I just use
cold tab water with no salt. They like the water, because they are
cold fresh/salt water fish.

Is this for real?

Did you take fish that were acclimatised to salt water and put them
straight into fresh water? I'm not surprised they died. They may live
in salt and fresh water, but they don't suddenly change from one to
another.

You're keeping them in a one gallon water bottle? I guess there's no
point in asking whether you're using filtration or oxygenation?

The remaining four will be dead soon. Please don't do this again.

I wonder if anyone raised or have striper bass? Can I put them with my
platy and danio?

No.

Believe it or not, these conditions are actually quite good for
goldfish. The algae removes much of the ammonium and nitrate from fish
wastes and oxygenates the water. There will be other food sources than
the rice.
