Just moved my three 1.5" yellow perch into their own 20 tall tank as a growout until they hit 5-6". Once they get to big and I have to move them out of the tank I plan on breeding some type of fish in it. The dimensions are 24"L x 12"W x 16"H and filtration is a sponge filter rated for a 50 gallon. Substrate is loose tan gravel and I can change it if needed but I'd prefer to keep it. pH of my tap is 7.6 and I don't change it for any tanks unless necessary. I'm expecting the perch to be moved out of the tank by the end of the year.
Here's a few options I was considering.
Which of those options would you guys do?
