best native fish for 75 gallon tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree with Longears and would add that Dollars and some of the bigger madtoms (stonecats and checkered madtoms) would be good for a 75. Or you could even go wth some of the larger darters and Topminnows in a tank.
 
i do want a brown bullhead! thats a positive yes! but for another fish i was thinking mabey a perch or walleye? i need somthing that will eat my leftover (live) shinners i use for bait.
 
Yellow perch and brown bullhead.

Their fine with anything they cant eat. And chain pickerel get about as big as bass, so I would stick to grass or redfin.

You can hand feed a pickerel, be carefull though, if they're big enough they'll even eat a finger. :eek: I've only kept grass pickerel, but I think redfins stay smaller. Mine follows me when I wake up and when I get near the tank, so I think they're pretty personable.
