I haven't kept n. longears, but their close cousins the central longears and dollars can be pretty aggressive. Redpots are milder but may still be too active for the pickerel. I kept a pickerel with a warmouth for some time, they seemed to do well together. They have very similar personalities.

The warmouths that I have had were similar in personality to green sunfish which is way to aggressive.Noto;3337282; said:I haven't kept n. longears, but their close cousins the central longears and dollars can be pretty aggressive.

what tank size would you need for a few (3 MAYBE 4) grass pickerel for life? Been pondering a 96"x48"x24" Plywood tank would that work if I build it?
Oh kick A! Will they breed in aquariums?Noto;3337610; said:That would be plenty big!
Probably gonna build it then. I was thinking that or a big above ground plastic pool, but ill prob build the ply tank instead.
I believe they will breed in aquariums but I'm not sure. Try asking at http://forum.nanfa.org; at least one member there breeds them regularly.
I hear that they breed well in ponds, but I have to imagine a tank that size would emulate that pretty well.
I have 2 pickerels Grass and Redfin, in a 125 with 2 brown bullheads and 2 yellow perch. They all get along just fine
Yeah I though about bullhead as well but I will want my pickerel to be way bigger and in a bigger tank before I give it a try. As the other bullheads ive had chewed on there tank mates fins.Jridge716;3337944; said:I have 2 pickerels Grass and Redfin, in a 125 with 2 brown bullheads and 2 yellow perch.
