Best Native Species as a Pet

all depends on whether or not ur keeping the lmb in the tank. if you throw in some sunnies into there the bass will kick the crap out of them on most cases, depending on the temperament of the fish, but a pickerel sounds like the best choice

You can pellet train pickerels, my grassy eats any sinking pellet that hits the water.

That's good to know. I've just heard that it can be very difficult to get them off of live foods.

No the LMB will not be in the tank at all from what I have read that even a 200 gal is to small, for a LMB. : ]
