Hello everyone,
not only am i new to this website, but also to keeping native species fish. I've been doing tons of reading and research for an empty 55 gallon i have (Bearded Dragon moved into a larger tank ). I've pretty much decided on owning something from the Lepomis genus of sunfishes. Now, my question is: what tankmates can i keep with a Lepomis Humilis,Orangespotted Sunfish? I was thinking of a single L.Humilis, some Rainbow Darters, and a Crayfish for the bottom? Also, would it be possible to keep more than one (like a pair) of L.Humilis or even a Lepomis gibbosus, Pumpkinseed? Any help is much appreciated, the tank i will be using is 48"L x 13"W x 21"H.
Thanks, Jake
