20L stocking

[suepahfly]

Hey I just got a 20 long from a buddy. I am looking for some different stocking ideas for it and I figured why not look into natives. What kind of fish can I catch in northern Michigan that I can keep in a 20 long for life?

Thanks in advance.

Sticklebacks, dace, log perch and the like. I would go with mudminnows if you have a trap (or can get one).

i have a pond book that has a bunch of natives for small ponds in them, most can go in a 20L. i'll try and find it.

Sticklebacks and sculpin are definately sweet looking! I will have to find out where and how to catch them around here.

if your looking for sculpins they are usually in really cold parts of a lake and usually when you find a spot where 1 is there will be alot. i use to catch them all the time with just night crawler and a small hook, or a fish net in shallow areas. i could never keep them alive for long in aquarium
