a couple oregonians

[guppy]

here are a couple of fish I am holding, The little ones are smallmouth bass, a game fish introduced into oregon. The largest of these four is barely 8"s.
The other one is a medium sized northern pikeminnow, a true native. It is 14" long. The 20gallon tubs are temporary and I'm doing 80% water changes daily.

 

[piranha45]

what are the ideal temperature ranges for both fish, in your opinion/experience?

are pikeminnows territorial, or only go after what fits in their mouth easily?

 

[guppy]

I really don't know what is ideal but a well areated room temp. tank works. I don't think the minnows are territorial as the wander up and down the river in loose schools, at least while young, I don't know their breeding habits but most of the time they feed on anything they can get in their mouths.

I've kept both fish in Tropical temps before with no problems. Never saw any aggression with the Pike Minnows but have see aggression from the bass.

yeah I've heard of plenty of accounts of large/smallmouth bass thrashing big CA cichlids...
