First off, this is the first time I have ever post pics of any of my tanks online, so I'm slightly nervous! And I also wanna thank my dad for driving over and taking the pics! (that was the delay, I don't have a camera)

Anyway so here is my 125 Gallon North American Native Tank. The stock is....
4 Bluegill Sunfish
1 Pumpkinseed Sunfish
3 Bullheads
1 Black Crappie
2 Hybrid little carp looking thingys they just GAVE me at my LFS! So I tossed em in there, why not?!? :)
and there is also a pleco who lives in there under a little log

The plants are fake (I don't like real plants) But everything else is natural, all the fish other than the noted carp I caught (or my dad or brother caught while fishing with me). The driftwood and rocks I found either at lake superior or in a river/stream near the lake. the gravel is just playground sand that I washed out.

Overall I am very happy with the tank, I plan on adding a black background, I really like the rock structure I made,the bullheads like it also, they live in there or under the drift wood (they dug a hole)

So here it is in all its awesomeness. Also I plan on adding some more fish in the spring, specifically a bass!

Why is you not posting this for native addicts in coldwater!!! haha awesome tank. Your black crappie looks about the same size as mine. I really like the carp and catfish too, your photos make me want to get some
.

btw the fish in photo six by the intake definatly looks like a lake chubsucker, the other one does look like a carp.
 
Thats a great looking setup!
 
thanks, i suppose i posted it here and not in the native forum because there are more people here and this is the "photo" forum, however i may post some stuff there also
