half of those fish were dumped on me by friends who either give themto me or release them into the wild.
I need a bigger tank

you're going to need a very large tank for all those fish. A 200 would do for the smaller ones like the sunfish but the PB and LMB are going to to need LOTS of space. You may want to look into rehoming those to better provide for the others. The "pike" and "gar" will need higher temps than the natives and should probably be separated. Not to mention that they will almost certainly be eaten once the Bullhead gets a little growth on him.
Without learning to exercise some self control having a bigger tank will only lead to having to find homes for even more fish. Learn some responsibility and find decent homes for some if not all of these fish.
Once you can properly care for a 55g tank, then I would agree to you(has nothing to do with the fish) getting a larger tank.

i am currently happy with these fish and will not be getting anythiong else, i ahve turned down many other fish including a ripshaw catfish, marble cat, green terror, texas chichlid and arowanas. ask my friends, i am happy with the fish i have and my dream tank is a big tank with the natives i already have.
You'll need at least a 300 gallon for the bass. I'd say a 400 gal for all the fish. BTW, that needlenose is going to get eatin pretty soon.
I was going to say the samething. I would vote but I don't agree with having the needlenose in there to begin with so I'm not unless you get rid of it.bass_cats;4022540; said:
The tank looks great with that assortment of fish but what makes you think your mom is going to pay about $1500 minimum for the total cost of a tank setup to house these fish? Even though reallistically your looking about closer to $2000-2500.
Unless she ain't buying it and paying the electric bill.
