Looking aweome...do your red ear's breed for you?

[@Day5Aquatics]

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS they haven’t shown any signs but I haven’t had them a full year yet and being wild caught, they are more likely to show signs of breeding when spring comes.

tank looks great

[@Day5Aquatics]

Crimsontide798 thanks

[@grock31]

Never seen this species. Beautiful fish!

[@Day5Aquatics]

GDee Cichlids central longear sunfish. Native to a large part of the US. They’re mostly found in creeks and streams so you won’t likely catch them fishing in lakes.

[@jpshawcross]

This tank is awesome! The turtle is amazing and the colors on the longears are incredible! I want some now! How big is this tank, a 125 gallon?

[@Day5Aquatics]

Restless Natives it’s a 75. Big enough for the longears but eventually I’m going to have to figure something out with the turtle.

[@valzalbo5932]

Nice. Cant get those where I'm from.

[@Day5Aquatics]

If you’re in the US, you can order them online.

[@valzalbo5932]

Day5 Aquatics Australia my friend.

[@larrysimmons6082]

So you caught them ur self ..just woundering because I have got some fish similar-looking to these but there was too small to be sure exactly what they was and I was wondering if you had any other clips on when you did catch them what they look like when they were smaller or if they was even small when you did catch them thanks for video enjoy watching them hope you come out with more soon

[@davidsfishtanks9347]

wow they are cool fish man !

[@dbshrider]

Great tank! I really like the drift wood. did you buy that or just find it? if so how did you prepare such a large piece for the tank?

[@Day5Aquatics]

David Shrider I bought the big piece eBay. The rest of them I bought in different pet stores. I weighed it down in a tub for a few months. And then the big piece I screwed a piece of slate to the bottom of it to keep it down.

Looks amazing bro keep up the good work

[@Day5Aquatics]

Fish brothers thanks

[@upsidediy3945]

Good looking tank. I just made a video but was over 15min. on my phone and didn't complete the upload. If this was my aquarium, and kept it native, I'd probablly have regular guppies and I saw a snout softleather, turtle once. I've also seen snapping turtles in the wild but would rather put these into a 2k pond. Use the tank for nano fish. Maybe an angel or female betta.

[@Day5Aquatics]

Asian Arawana I’m obsessed with native sunfish so that’s what I’m gonna keep in here. The turtle stays for its personality alone. It’s in an office and the turtle draws people in because she has a great personality.

[@GoonieGooGoo410]

Nice video, id like to find some long ears, i have 3 warmouth, 2 green sunfish, 1 rock bass and 1 redbreast sunfish right now

[@Day5Aquatics]

GOONIE GOO GOO my green sunfish just killed all my longears this week. I’m totally gutted about it. I think he started to dig a nest and defend it and killed the rest in the process. I didn’t find it till the next day and the massive ammonia build up ended up killing him too.

[@GoonieGooGoo410]

Day5 Aquatics damn that sucks, my redbreast seems to run the tank but isnt to aggressive

[@Day5Aquatics]

GOONIE GOO GOO the green was a new addition but hadn’t seemed too aggressive up till then. He wasn’t even the boss of the tank really. But something snapped.

[@AQUAFUNK]

Where do you live that you can get fish like that

[@Day5Aquatics]

AQUA FUNK W/ ANGEL FREAK Southeast Illinois

[@AQUAFUNK]

Day5 Aquatics I would love to have a native tank but I live in northern New Jersey and I really don't want to have the fish from these Waters in my house but maybe in 6 months from now I'll move down to Georgia Florida and then I'll do one

[@Day5Aquatics]

AQUA FUNK W/ ANGEL FREAK there’s some good looking fish up by you. I’m not sure if redbreast sunfish are up that far north but if they are, they’re worth checking out

[@dimcry6305]

What light you use ?

[@Day5Aquatics]

Dimitri Jacquet it’s a diy light fixture using a bunch of led light bulbs.
