I wanted to ask a few questions on minimum tank sizes. I would really appreciate it if you could help me on:
What are the minimum tank sizes for
Bullhead
Largemouth Bass
White Bass
White and Yellow Perch
Thanks so much
 
The Bullhead, white bass, and yellow perch would probably be fine in a 6' x 2' tank, although not all together though imo. I don't know much about white perch, so I won't comment on that one. As for the Largemouth, 6' x 3' at a minimum. In my opinion they are too active and too big for anything smaller. People have kept them in smaller with good results but I like my fish to thrive, not just stay alive.
 
He pulled a post and run. LOL! Obviously those are not the answers he wanted to hear.
 
White perch are active and get larger than yellow perch. IMO, I would give it a tank longer than 6' in the long run. Also as schooling fish, I would give either species of perch the largest aquarium possbile instead of looking for the min. 4wheel offered good minimums, but I would go bigger if you plan on having multiple of any of these fish. Also, yellow and black bullheads stay smaller than brown bullhead by a few inches. Smallmouth is another good option instead of largemouth. They stay smaller and dont grow quite as fast, but they are not quite as hardy
