all looking great keep posting them up! this weekend I may put up another 3 so let's see them!
 
Alright time to post the old school tanks from when I was around 12 years old. First we have a 75 gallon fathead minnow, catfish and largemouth bass fry growout with DIY pressurized CO2. Very interesting how I did that. Then we have a 75 gallon dace aquarium with redbelly dace, new world silversides (the most sensitive fish I ever kept) and catfish growouts. Then there is a 20 gallon high central mudminnow aquarium with some crfayfish, a pumpkinseed juvie and stickleback. A 20 gallon log cichla occellaris growout tank. The last tank was a 120 gallon wide with pumpkinseed sunfish, rock bass, and 6 of the largest largemouth frys that I grew out.

lol yeah they were hard to keep alive that's for sure but their active at the surface like arowanas. Fun fish to watch, had around 8 of them for a year and a half. To keep them you must introduce them when the water is as cold as possible at the area of location and in your tank then you just let the tank raise extremely slowly. Always dechlorinate before any water goes in. I used to love sitting out on the dock at night and watching schools of them leave the water jumping over sticks and stuff. I used to catch hundreds of them during the silver shiner and gold shiner spawning rush
