Grass pickerel Tank

[MultispeciesTamer]

The last pickerel I caught regurgitated a banded sculpin and a crayfish. He was in a little eddy of a stream behind a gravel bar, but obviously had been foraging in the main channel. Just thought I'd share.

I think crappie would be good tank mates as long as you keep the crappie fat and full so the pickerel can get food.

i would say that the sculpin and the pickerel wouldnt be good....sculpin require very cold and fast flowing water...while the pickerel is complete opposite liking warm non moving water.

Hmm... I've caught sculpin in non-moving warm ponds and lakes around here. I've also caught them in glacial rivers, but I would think it would just depend on where you get them from.

Well, that and the yellow perch will eat the sculpin if it can.

Yes, well... the idea was not as tankmates in the same tank...but separate whole ideas. either perch--or sculpin...

Western sculpin are a whole different kettle o' fish. The eastern ones are not good at typical aquarium temps.
