The CK, balas, and warmouth will soon outgrow the tank, and the bluegills have aggression that will make the jewels look like fluffy bunnies. Right now it would be fine, but very soon that tank will become a bloodbath, jewels or no jewels. Being as you said "growout" and I don't know how long you can/will keep those fish in there, I won't give you a definite answer. Knowing balas, you have probably 6 months to a year before they outgrow the tank, maybe even less. The bluegills will mature and turn murderous before that. I have never kept CK, Warmouth, or jewels, so hopefully someone else will have some info on them.
are you sure the bluegill will turn murderous and the warmouth will not outgrow the tank and the gills are going in my largemouth pond but they have to be big enough and the ck is going in a 375 with my fire eel
I don't know anything about warmouths, on the fishing websites they get pretty big, and will outgrow the tank (see my other post), but I have kept bluegills and they are as nasty as they come.
the world record is 11 inches long and don't normally get over 9 in an aquarium and if the war mouths do outgrow the tank i live in south florida there native here so i can let them go thats worst case scenario and the balas are going in the 375 with the ck and fire eel
You are probably right that the warmouths will be fine. The jewels may even be able to handle the bluegill.aggression.
DO NOT do that. It is illegal, and if you get caught, the fines will be enormous. It is just better that you should know this and not accidentally get yourself into trouble.

You could be introducing foreign diseases or parasites into wild systems, don't ever do that
ok i haven't ever done that and i never will we all ready have a large exotic species problem here
