375 Gallon stocking question.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Smallmouth wont matter. If it fits in the mouth its gone. LMB/SMB are far more aggressive than the rest of your stock too.
 
What are the dimensions of the 375g tank?
 
In a 375 if grown together, it has the potential to work. There are better options though. What other fish do you like?
 
In my personal experience it will not work period. The LMB will not only out eat all those fishes but will eventually eat them all. And if the oscars decide to play bully the LMB will destroy the oscars as they have feather like scales where as compared to the LMB its rock hard like scales.
 
Well I still need suggestions. Maybe a yellow perch or small pickerel like grass pike.just curious
 
Yeah pumkinseed should be ok, or a crappie...

If you get em all at a small size they might be ok. Never know. But The LMB is the only questionable one. ALl the others should be ok eventually. Never know maybe the LMB might work too. If you really like the LMB...I say give it a shot. It didn't work for me but might work for you.

If you want to substitute then you could try the Lepomis macrochirus family. Yellow Perch would be awesome but never had one so don't really know it's personality and if it'd be peaceful with the other fishes. I want a yellow perch too. I think the grass pike would be ok could be work.
