Thanks Anom

Thanks

That's sounds like a good plan, and they will be much happier than the guppies.

They love those cooler temps, thanks for sharing.

Probably, I've never seen any fry in this tank, i bree them Outdoors during the summer.

Dollar sunfish

Nice, they are neat fish to keep.

Whyd you let me do that?

@@bobs5596 😆

Thank you so much.

Thanks, I've always loved native fish from a young age.

@ check out Jonah’s Aquarium, if you’ve not. He ships a lot of great natives

@PetfaxTV i love Jonahsaquarium.com, i mention him quite a bit when people are looking for fish, I also have a couple of his perfect dipnets. They are amazing for collecting fish.

That's awesome. Do you have any video of your fish?

He passed a few months back. He ran into the driftwood in the tank from being skittish, and then a fungal infection took off real bad, I tried treating him but ended up losing him to it eventually.

@ ah I’m so sorry for your loss, I lost my eelpout the exact same way. Right now I’ve got 1 yellow bullhead and a noturus flavus (stonecat) that’s all, I kinda gave up after I lost the eelpout

I believe that some fish just can't coexist in an aquarium with live plants.

There are some very colorful darters throughout the US. A lot of people think all small fish are minnows, when in reality, there are a lot of very unique small fish species in our waters.

😆

By my calculations, it's roughly 90 gallons.

@@GreenCanvasInteriorscape here's a video of those same fiah this summer. kzbin.info7YqwJ3-7hQU?si=Ft4REDMQeYUaBN3g. I've never heard of them being found in bait shops.

Yes, my youngest daughter caught the pickerel while fishing for sunfish. I'd imagine you could keep them with slightly smaller fish if you had a big enough tank. I put a 6-inch Chub in there once, and he had it in his mouth within 10 minutes. Dace are cool fish, I can find some eastern black nose dace around me, they are like miniature trout in my opinion, very active.

Overall, it's pretty chill until it comes to feeding time. He's almost boring if kept alone. That's why I keep a sunfish in there, creates a little completion.

@ ah Seems like most predator fish I’ve seen/owned. Wonderful video though, it’s always satisfying seeing our native species in their glory.

I agree. Most fish are kept way too warm for no good reason. I do just like all these fish. I appreciate the kind words.

hahah same! Dude looks like a pissed off alien too

Yeah, he's got a bit of an attitude, that's my grass pickerl that I call the water wolf.

They are very underappreciated, I agree. I could live down there. I just have to bundle up more. Thanks for sharing, and I think you're the first commentpr from Russia, at least that i can remember.

@MrBeeznutz ohh im not from Russia i am from Netherlands hahah but our gas always came cheap from Russia, now because of the war and sanctions we dont get the cheap Russian gas anymore.

That's a good idea, I might have some small water lettuce in a few tanks.

Lol, they are very cool fish.

Awesome, thanks for sharing, buddy. I love hearing about people keeping native fish.

No offense taken, but we might have to agree to disagree on this one. Brown bulkheads have darker barbells where yellow bullhead have white barrels. These all have white barbells. Plus, nanfa.org doesn't even list brown bullhead in my local waterways, which these came out of.

​@@MrBeeznutz I guess yellow bullheads only get that yellow when they're in natural sunlight or maybe it's the black substrate doing it. You're right 👍

Thanks for the info, bud.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the sub.

@@AndrewHampson-kp7by thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

@@AndrewHampson-kp7by yeah, that is one of my favorite pieces as well.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

It's awesome that you have been in the hobby that long. Each state is different as far as native fish and collecting and keeping in Aquariums go. Fortunately, here in Indiana, all I need is a valid fishing liscence to possess them. I would recommend some rainbow shiners. They are very pretty and quite easy to order online and have shipped right to your house.

Thanks, buddy, for the kind words.

@@anglachel599 thanks buddy, i appreciate that

@WaterProof613 it's been a long time in the making, with this fishroom, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@JayRockDoesStuff thanks Jay, i don't know what happened, but it's been doing great. Thanks for your support, brother.

They are some really fun fish to keep, thanks for watching.

That's awesome. Is it a metal frame?

That's crazy. We are in northern Indiana, pretty close.

I see, or wait, maybe I can't see.

Michigan has some amazing native fish, very similar to what we have here.

That's awesome. What fish? Thanks for sharing

@@MrBeeznutz Rainbow darters, Mountain Redbelly Dace, and Bluespotted Sunfish. You've got an amazing collection of natives quite impressive sir!

That's awesome, I've always wanted a marine tank. That sounds like a neat setup you have.

@@MrBeeznutz Thanks, bro. My 30 gal fresh done up Walstad is still zero on ammonia and stable across the board on the test strips. Been 6 months since did a water change and that was because it was a fresh build back then. Been 4 months since a change of the fiber in the filter. It's more the bacteria's condo than a cleaner. All started when saw an aquarium vid of a guy catching aquarium fish in Fla and found a 2 1/2 gal hex tank with the gear and gravel in the trash on my block .Hadn't had a tank since I was around 7 which is more decades past than I want to think about LOL. I'm up to 4 tanks now, 2 fresh, 1 salt, and one a freshwater snail/blackworm, and blood worm colony tank. The 30's main feature are the pea puffers and them buggers like live LOL!

Thanks 😊

Thanks, I appreciate that.

They are awesome little catfish.
