The title pretty much says it all. My tank is empty due to the last of my 2 Oscar dying. I was thinking of a few panfish. I like catfish but I know my tank is too small. I've done a little searching here and most have had simaler questions, but with smaller or larger tanks. Also curious on what I should use for bottom cover. Thanks ahead of time!
Looking for native fish ideas for my 90 gallon

As earlier stated, a bullhead could work. Most the yellow ones stay small and they're fun to watch feed. Bluegill/perch/pumpkinseed are awesome as well. As for the bottom... I love sand. Poll filter type and a few natural rocks.

Thanks for the responses. How many could comfortably fit in there. I've always liked the look of a Pumpkinseed and I don't know what a warmouth is. I do know that I would like more than 2 fish like I had before. Knowing that a yellow bullhead would be fine, I'd like one of those in there for sure.
What is a poll filter? Is there any difference in maintenance with sand over stone?

I'd go with 3 longear, 4 pumpkinseeds, and one warmouth. that way you'll end up with 4 longear, 5 pumpkinseeds, and 2 warmouth.
and he meant pool.

warmouths on average are not overly aggressive sunfish to any fish almost theyre size or bigger.
A 90g is big enough to house some of the bigger Shiners (golden, and the Luxilus genus) and if you want some good looking Sunfish you guys have some Central Longears that have a good amount of orange in them and get up to 8inches long, I believe you guys also have Redspotted sunfish in southern Ohio which are another cool looking Centrarchid; the possibilities with tankmates to put in with the sunfish could be Stonecats instead of Bullhead and some of the bigger topminnows (Northern and Southern studfish), even other possibilities are Large chubs, native sleepers, Large Madtoms and Sculpins, would all work in a 90g Aquarium.
