I can't find hardly any info on crappie in tanks. I've got a group of about 3-4 inchers that I obtained when I was lucky enough to raid a drained pond on my mom's property. I've had them for a month or so with a few bluegill of various sizes and a young largemouth bass(all from the drained pond). I've had to separate some because they've gotten picked on. Is anyone else keeping these guys?
 
i used to have some im waiting for them to show at my local lake so i can go get a few for my tank. theyre really easy to take care of. nice fish and are extremely docile.
 
below 4in= plankton eaters so me and the rest of the members/salesmen on these sites prefer not to raise them...... they will starve themselves
 
ur a crappie fish keeper
 
That seems to hold true. The larger ones eat alot better than the smaller ones. Is there nothing I can feed the smallest ones? The one that eats the best is the largest one at about 5''. They and a couple of the others eat floating pellets well, then a few seem to have no appetite at all. I also lost one or two to ich.
 
i know griggs had a few small ones under four. he did very well with them i think he fed them brine shrimp and blood worms.
