Default Raising baby largemouth bass 1mm long Help!?

Hey so yesterday i was fishing at a pond when i notice large numbers of baby largemouth bass so i scooped 3 up and brought them home and put them in my 29 gallon freshwater tank. They are in a breeder net for now. They have been alive for 31 hours and i am guessing they are 4-7 days old. I am feeding them crushed tropical flakes but i dont think they are eating. I dont know if the birth sack that they feed on is fully absorbed yet it is not visible though. Im not sure if i am doing anything right so let me know what ishould do/ change thanks ill keep you all updated!
I love how everyone is like put them back they need housing and how everyone thinks im retarted look i came here because they are so small there is little research about them any where. In the wild they only have small chance of survival i want to grow them to about 3-5 inches then i will slowly addapt them to a pond and yes i have a filter im fine with that. Dont worry they are i n good hands i just need to know what to feed them i cant do chicken i want it to be as naturaly as possible i would eventually do earthworms but im afraid of parasites so when they get to a inch ill try frozen blood worms. Sound good?

If they keep not eating put them in a river. Try berries, chicken, other meats, and those same flakes. They are probably a little stressed. It would help if you had a filter so the water was moving. They get big so you will have to release them eventually.

Personally, I would let nature take its course. I would release them into the pond. I'm sure there are enough hiding spots for the little guys.

all stressed fish stop eating from one day to even a couple of weeks in captivity. I have 4 full grown madtoms in my 29 gallon. Their not even 6 inches long so taking care of them is a piece of cake, I also always give them live food that they ate in the wild( i catch their food from the same place i got them). When I first got them they werent even a month old and they didnt start to eat for a while.

Anyways, what I would do in your case is to put baby guppies in there. When they are hungry and ready, they'll eat them. That's your indication that they are ready for feeding.
