The fish arrived today and look great, I fed them and they ate immediately. I will post pictures tomorrow.

I had more but four of them died, the fish arrive today so I plan on adding more plants over time.

Here's what I have so far. It's a mixture of live and artificial plants, the fish are due in the mail tomorrow After talking to customer service at the website I got them from, I ended up with 2 speckled madtoms, 2 black banded sunfish, and 2 blue spotted sunfish. I Will post more pictures...

Just wanted to give an update, the tank is now set up and the fish are due to arrive Wednesday. 3 blue spotted sunfish 2 black banded sunfish 2 speckled madtoms.

I caught the catfish in a small pool near a river when it was about 2 centimeters long. I got the crappie from a pond stocking company along with two others, one of which didn't make the three hour drive home, the other died about two days later.

I would like to keep this tank simple so I think I'll get banded sunfish instead of the blue spotted, I also like their coloration a little better, and think it will mix better with the black banded.

Yes those are the black banded, the video description says that there is one blue spotted but I think it's a juvenile bluegill,

Sorry here's the video

Any idea what kind of worms are used in this video they really seem to like them. What would be involved in keeping daphnia, never kept a planktivore.

Good point, I do plan on upgrading my 55 gallon to a 100 gallon in the near future so I shouldn't have to do that anymore anyway.

Oh wow, I was under the impression that as long as you released the fish into the water you got it from it was fine.

That's where I plan on getting the tadpole madtoms from but I'll have to order the other fish from here Jonah's Aquarium... Need Fish?. Do you think they would eat freeze dried blood worms, I've had success with that in the past when feeding young brim and bass.

I plan on purchasing the two small species from this place Jonah's Aquarium... Need Fish? But if I want any of the larger species I usually just catch them.

Normally yes they would but these two species have a maximum size of about 2-3 inches. I use my 55 gallon for the larger species and release them when they get too big.

Thanks for all the help, i will have to see what my local store has. I have thought about native plants before but all I can ever seem to find is algae.

Yeah, I had a bluegill and he was downright mean in the spring and early summer. I had thought about the temperature difference and since doing some research earlier today have decided to get some tadpole madtoms instead. Any advice on substrate or cool water plant species?

I have a tank with two predatory fish in it and when I give them feeders I never put the water in the tank, my fish have gotten some nasty infections that way. Since I've started just adding the fish and not the water I've only had one problem. However, the fact of the matter is that there is...

New 29 gallon aquarium In the next week or two I plan on setting up a 29 gallon fresh water aquarium with a power filter, and heater. I would like to put blue spotted and black banded sunfish in it, but I don't live in an area where I can catch them and am having trouble finding them for sale...

Sorry meant 5"

Arkansas, my 55 gallon has a 10" catfish that I've had for a while and still can't quite ID, all I know is that it's a species of bullhead, and a 55" black crappie.

I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself I currently have a 55 gallon aquarium and 29 gallon that is not set up yet. I prefer native fish but enjoy some tropical species.
