75 Gallon fish suggestions

[Sanjo Eel]

Hi there everyone. I currently have a 75 gallon occupied by a really boring black piranha. I am thinking about an Ohio native tank. I am up for about anything coldwater that can live it's life out in that tank. Any ideas? I prefer something that will be much more active than the piranha.

i personally would recommend some sort of sunfish, pretty bold fish, if you like the predator thing their good for sucking down a minnow or two as well.

I agree I would get a sunfish tons of different varieties available and most have tons of color .

If you decided you wanted a tropical Cichlid I would say get a male trimac

Longear and orangespotted sunfish would look nice.

i get a Flowerhorn, but if your set on natives, sunfish; FTW

Yeah I am totally leaning toward sunfish. The local fish market has huge live bluegill for sale and there is also a fish hatchery with different ones. I was thinking 2 or 3 small ones but I was reading that they may prefer to be solo. How many should I put in there? I am fine with a single big bluegill too, I just want them to be happy and active.

Have you thought about trying to catch your own? Depending on what species you want You could keep 1 to 10. Smaller Ohio species would be Northern longear and orangespotted sunfish. Medium species will be Green sunfish and Central longear sunfish. And your large species will be Bluegill,Redear sunfish,and pumpkinseed sunfish.
