Black Crappie likes his stump.

Ha, I've actually got 2 pieces of collected wood that i found at a local lake, thats the stump and the branch higher so there is probably quite a bit of tannins in the water, it might just look clear because i've got 3 48" 40 watt bulbs and a smaller 24" t4 on the tank for the plants.

Your tank looks wonderful....and the title made me laugh too

 

[Owain4]

Haha glad you enjoy it. it is very active during feeding and before night time, But he loves the corner of the tank, in and around the two pieces of driftwood. It's a good fish though, any one know how to sex crappies ha?

well who doesn't like a nice stump lol, mine lives behind the driftwood

 

[Owain4]

they really love their cover. I can understand why my crappie loves the stump so much, it is a cool looking stump. i've been meaning to get another crappie and move my white sucker to my pond.

how can you tell if you have a male/female yellow perch? mines look like yours

 

[Owain4]

I have no idea SickSauce, The only reason i found out is because the big yellow perch laid a bunch of egg streams in my aquarium, the other one could be a male or female but im not positive. I've looked it up a bit but cant seem to find any good ways without disection.

 

[SickSauce]

okay, thanks anyways
