i have kept large and smallmouth bass and they seem to do good in aquariums..usually if u get them at a young age u can get them on pellets..or at least frozen..
rock bass are mean as hell. the one i had tore everything apart. and liked to dig way to much for my liking.
Smallmouth are a large, VERY slow growing cold water fish. they can be aggresive but generally tolerate other fishes in with them.
Noreaster - i never QTed my natives back when i had them and actually never had ANY disease with them now that i think about it. i would brign em home, give them a salt bath foir about 5 minutes then into the tank they went.

They were free
I'll take one out if i get a bass and the other one will go too when it gets too bigtha is.
These are best kept alone in there own tank as they are cold water fish and would'nt last in warmer water.. maybe sunny's /blue gill / pumpkin seed's mite, but northern cought bass no way they will die.. even with summer geting in to the upper 90's here in C.T. a shallow(under40 feet) pond or lake will not produce large size bass of any specie..EX: the two best bass lake's in conecticut are lake waramauge ( 40-45 foot at deepest part) and
candlewood lake ( 90- 120 foot at some part's ) candle wood however is man made.. fishing for bass during midd day in the summer as the water heat's up they(bass) head for deeper coLder water....

My LMB is doing great in 74 deg F water, but I don't know about SMB, they may need colder water. You may need a chiller, and your Salmon and Sturgeon would probably benefit.
it gets no higher than 18 c and while slightly on the high side its ok.
over 21 degrees they suffer mostly from lack of oxygen especially at feeding time
