Hi guys, I heard this site had a nice natives forum so I had to come check it out.
I have a 180 gallon (72x24x24") that I'm gonna be stocking with natives. These 2 pumpkinseeds are the first 2 inhabitants, they are about 6", there is also a 5" bluegill in with them but he is ugly and boring and didn't want his picture taken. You can kinda see him in one of the pics. I was thinking for the rest I would get a yellow bullhead, 4-5 yellow perch and maybe a 3rd pumpkinseed. What do you guys think?

natives are awesome... I'm just too cheap to buy a chiller LOL.

I'd stock that tank with some muskies/pikes, bass, flathead cat, snook, bowfin, and whatever other nice native predators.
