I have creek chubs,white suckers,central stonerollers,logperch darters,greensided darters,emerald shiners,spotfin shiner,stonecat madtom,orangespotted sunfish,bluntnose minnows,blackstriped topminnows, and small green sunfish,bluegill,smallmouth bass all together in a 125 gallon.
Wow, what are their sizes and how long have you had that setup?
 
The smallmouth and sunfish are about 2 inches. They are temporary as soon as they are 6 inches they will be moved to bigger tank. I have had this setup since beginning of April. All otherv fish are around 3 to 5 inches long. I had two 5 inch green sunfish in with them but had to remove them because they were eating all the food before the darters could get any.

In the future you will need a much bigger tank than the 125g for the smallmouth bass.

Thats why I said when they reach about 6in they will be moved to bigger tank. I have a 270 gallon 6x3x2 that I am resealing and building a stand for.
 
I have to agree with what others have said creek chubs are vary aggressive and should be kept only with other creek chubs. They like to jump and find any hole to get out of.
