Id rather have this than a walleye, I like the saugers pattern better. So far he is doing well.

Yeah I know what you mean, I first noticed the difference when I caught my first sauger up in Minnesota, how do you plan on feeding them all? Or are you planning on training them to be all on the same pellet?

Well pellets would be great but just in case I cant get them all on it, each time I go out I take the cast net with me to catch minnows, suckers and chubs and whatever else gets in the way of the cast net. When I get home they go to the freezer, I hope to get enough to last all winter.
Amazing tank bradda. You could probably get all of your fish on pellets within a week.. Start with freeze dried krill first and then move to pellets. I found that to be the easiest way with predatory natives.
Well for one I'm guessing that the gar will never eat a pellet so the freeze dried shrimp is the way to go on that....

I wanted to know if you got any perch yet and if you think when the largemouth bass gets bigger if he will eat them or not because I would really like to add some to my tank.
For some reason they take dried krill more readily verse pellets. I have a feeling that it has to do with flavor and scent. Getting them on krill conditions them to taking dried foods such as pellets. Same thing with my wild cichla, they are another stubborn fish to get off of lives and this has always worked for me. I got my large mouth on krill 2 days after being acclimated to the tank and the 3rd day I got him on pellets after taking the krill readily. To be honest, it was was easier than I though it was going to be. I did not think he was going to be so excepting. My striper was stubborn and kept going up to an refusing the pellets but I placed a food stick inside/in between the krill and after eating 3 of those he started to take the hikari jumbo food stick on her own.
