Bass and catfish in aquarium?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't have any pictures but will try to get some next time I go and the alligators are moved in winter to my moms friends heated ponds and the common snappers are all huge so I will go out on my canoe and try and get some pics next time I can assure you they are alligators my moms friend picked them up at a reptile show and he raised them until over 12 inches then I dropped them in my pond and they have grown huge I will check to see if my mom has any pics but I will try and get some next time I go up and I refuse to go swimming in the pond because the fact that there are some catfish in there that somehow got it on their own (not stocked by me) through one of the streams running into the pond and these catfish could probably swallow my 3 year old sister lol no joke they are huge! I will get some pics of those too but my pond is all natural basically and I have no heaters and no filters and if I had to guess it is over 1,000,000 gallons not Man made just man improved because it was a small pond and we used machines to make it grow. But the alligators and all fish live on their own without any help from me other than throwing in the occasional dead animal

shouldn't be a problem releasing them if they are natives to that area.

If they were ever kept in an aquarium it is highly illegal to release them into the wild, even if native, and even if simply returned to the same place they were caught. If it is a sealed private pond, there is more leeway, as long as there are no other bodies of water feeding it.
 
i wouldn't put a bass into anything smaller then a 125 gallon (alone), and i'd suggest you dont try keeping them unless you can properly house them. I wouldn't mix one with cichlids either. just a very bad idea to keep one. Especially being 14 years old that is alot of take care of.

That is if it would like to have a lot of space and be very spacious but it can live in a 30 gallon and I'm only 14 years old and the last thing you need to be doing is being a troll so stfu and get off my posts. I know what I need to that's what matters. Not you

Yes this is my private pond and I had it stocked like 10 years ago and the fish are all natives so yes I will release them in there I have bass fatheads channel cats and some other kind not sure it's a black kind though around 2 feet biggest I've seen and in there are some alligator snapping turtles some common snapping turtles and eastern painters and musks

Something seems fishy here... He's 14, he stocked a pond at 4 and he herds turtles?
 
So you have a natural-sized pond and yet remove all the Snapping Turtles come the colder months? Where do you put them then? And how do you get all of them? They can burrow in the substrate at the bottom of the pond and even cross land, or just sit in the deeper parts of the lake and go undetected. And it's a natural-sized pond and you throw random dead animals into it for food?

Something isnt right here.
 
I didn't personally stock the pond ten years ago my mom did and her friend is the one that put all the snappers and alligator snappers in there and he is the one that gets them out every winter and I doubt he gets every single one but he backs his pickup to the pond and goes out on one of the bass boats and he grabs any snappers and throws them in his truck and he brings them back to his house where he has a very large heated man made pond that he keeps them in for winter.

The Oscar is two inches and gets picked on by my turtles so I moved him to a new tank because he was missing half a tail because he is albino and my turtles chase anything bright colored. And the truth is the above stated so **** off
