Who has a native community tank?

[critter_bob]

Lets hear from some folks who have a native community tank! It's obvious that lots of MFK'ers have aggressive natives (Lepomis, Micropterus, etc...), but who has a community tank, and what is your stocklist? I'll start it off...

In my 150, I have:

Seminole killifish
Golden topminnow
Flagfish
Mosquitofish
Sailfin Molly
Golden shiner
Coastal shiner
Sailfin shiner
Swamp darter
Blackbanded darter
Lake chubsucker
Bluespotted sunfish

Sorry critter_Bob, the closest I will have to a community, will be bluegills and a brown bullhead together.

I did have the bluegills, brown bullhead and warmouths together, but the warmouths were getting beat up.

I really do like the darter and sculpins. I might set up tanks for them.

I was thinking of making a tank with crappie oe bluegills. Idk native fish just bore me. Anything I can catch a mile from my house bores me I guess lol

I would love doing a 55+ gallon tank of blackbanded sunfish, a fee other pygmy sunfish, and some shiners. Also throw a darter or 2 in there.

Natives bore you until you get them home in a nice tank with a few natural decorations.

NO more boredom.

Just got a 125, going to set that up with natives too. Possibly a swamp riparium, with flier, warmouth, mudminnows, and chubsuckers.

 

[critter_bob]

what do you have your pirate perch feeding on? And do they ever come out in the daytime?

 

[Noto]

There's just one in the tank. He's about 4" and eats chopped nightcrawlers, live ghost shrimp, and (occasionally) sinking shrimp pellets. He ignores the killies in the tank, though he could probably swallow one if he caught it. He used to hide all the time, but after the last tank rearrangement, he has decided to hang out at the front of the glass. I like him, but honestly he's a pretty boring fish to have.
