How to house a Creek Chub?

[Gummy Walrus]

What would be the social behavior, minimum tank size, water temperature and parameters?

In a 2 foot deep creek what would be the easiest method to catch them, we have tackle, poles, and a big net.

This creek is known to have many of them.


Thank you in advance,
Gummy Walrus.

minnow trap for catching them. put some doughballs. hotdogs anything u want for bait in it.
Just keep them in a unheated tank. add plants and rocks. 10 to 20 gallon should be fine for a couple

best to keep them in a live well of some sort until your ready to use them for bait.

lol jk but not really.
theyre pretty hardy, they prefer some current but probably not entirely neccessary for life. feed readily on worms and a smaller hook.

i personally like using really light tackle. also means i get a larger one because i had trouble with the itty bitty ones.

He's gonna need a much bigger tank than that...creek chubs can get 8-10", maybe more and are very active, schooling fish. They would just be bouncing off the sides in a 10-20 gallon. A 55 with 4-8 would be minimum.

MFK also has a native fishkeeping section with lots of helpful info, I would recommend a search.
