Caught a new pickerel for the 125 today

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm thinking i want to put in one or two crappie? has anyone ever had luck with these before? If not crappie maybe some larger sunfish, ive had luck with large sunfish in the past. And possibly a small bullhead. I was shocked too see that all four of my young sunfish have succesfully avoided the pickerel, the dace on the other hand not as fortunate.
 
chain pickerel for sure, not sure how long that will last in a 125 they will get quite big, i would reccomend a tank at least 2' wide
 
Definitely a nice young chain pickerel. Prepare for this little guy to reach 31". Add some more plants so it feels more at home.
 
i posted an id thread a while back,i got 3 of these,about 3-4 inches each,got them out of literally a mudhole in my woods,and i live in ohio,i kept all 3
 
nice chain, for tamkmates i wouldn't use sunfish because they will pick on the chain and nibble on its fins, i would get a bullhead of some sort because they generally stay hidden during the day and won't mess with the chain
