My Native Fish Tank

[Bluegill]

Here is my native 55 gallon tank:

I have 3 fish in a largemouth bass who I have had for a year I caught him when he was 5 inches now he is 12 inches long:

A yellow perch that I caught on Friday his lip is all beat up hopefully it will heel up:

And a bluegill who is about 6 inches long:

Then I have a 20 gallon fish tank also in my bedroom with a bunch of comets and commons:

I can't get the perch or bluegill to eat I dropped down a worm and wood worm and the perch didn't want anything and the bluegill just picked up the worm and spit it out he did that 4 times. Any suggestions? Thanks for the tips from Monster Fish Keepers I got this great tank and stand on Craigslist for $65! Sorry about the pictures my cellphone camera needs alot of light to work properly tommorow morning I'll takes some better ones.

They're still in shock, give them a couple of days and some structure to hide behind would help too.

"Lip is all beat up hopefully it will heel up" I found a little Salt and 80F would Heal it up. My LMB had some kinda split. When i heated the tank it poped and turned it more red... and then and healed its self... i dont know if this is safe but it just worked for me to heal a hook hole.

Is it just me, or does the sunfish look more like a crappie?

Def. not a bluegill, from the pic.

Nice setup. The bass grow very quickly. Try and get him on pellets.

It's a bluegill, those vertical bars are an indication of stress.
