native fish

What is everyone out there's opinion on the best method for controlling populations of silver and bighead carp? There is a lot people saying that a food market for them should be started. I think many Americans will have a problem with eating fish fillets with so many bones. Also, the small...

A couple months ago I introduced a ~3 inch green sunfish that I caught hook and line into an aquarium containing a ~9 inch bullhead. Instantly, the bullhead came out and attacked the green sunfish. The sunfish had a pretty nasty wound on it's tail, and I thought for sure it wasn't going to...

Looking for a small redtail pickerel/ Smallmouth bass for my native species tank. Anything below 5 inches would be appreciated.

Still a couple tropicals and a Pangasius shark that is 3" or so and a year old, eats like a pig but doesn't grow... Blue spotted sunfish, warmouth, gambusia, popeye mullet, mud minnow, and brown bullhead. Several others do not appear in this video but are hidden, mudpuppy, spotted bullhead...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am hoping for some advice. (Sorry for the long rambling post and sorry if I couldn't find a relevant earlier post that addresses this . . .) 1 week ago (Thursday, 3/16)) I received 3 hog chokers ("freshwater flounders" or soles). The SG they were shipped in was...

Any concerns with keeping bullheads on sand? I was planning using pool filtration sand with my black bullheads, but I am concerned with them ingesting the sand when feeding on pellets off the bottom. Also, they are quite messy, so would having sand instead of a bare bottom increase maintenance?

I caught a few darters in a Indiana creek a few days ago and am unsure what type of darters these are. I believe the colorful ones are rainbows and the the non colorful ones are juvenile and female rainbows. I have no idea what kind of darter the dark brown and black striped one is though...

Pygmy sunfish are a cool addition to a nano tank or a outdoor container in the warmer months. They do well even in water with extremely low oxygen levels,can produce two spawns a year,grow to less than two inches max,they breed best in aquatic plants but will breed in gravel if that is...

Just took some more photos of my native goby tanks. Ok, native to Dniester River))) I have 3 freshwater species of gobies in there: monkey goby, round goby, and toad goby. Toad goby ( Mesogobius batrachocephalus) is the largest one, but he only comes out when he is hugry, so I couldn't get any...

So I currently have my two Redfin Pickerel housed by themselves. I was planning on putting some stone cats (Noturus flavus) in there. They both stay about the same size and the RFP stay up top and the stone cats are bottom dwellers so i think it would work out fine. Just wanted some feedback on...

I was wondering if it was safe ( after bleaching and or cleaning, and the vinegar test ) to put rocks from the stream in your aquarium. I have done some research and everyone i have seen has mostly said yes. And if so and there is built in green algae stuck on there will it continue to grow and...
