My New Natives

[noreaster]

Ok,

I change my stock around a bit and got rid of my salmon, I went down to the river with a friend and caught a yellow perch and today two Pumpkin seeds.

At least I think they are so i'll post a picture and you can tell me.

The perch is already eating from my hand and ifyou dangle your fingers in he'll swim up and nab your finger.


the pumpkin seeds is that is what they are are as pretty as any fish, they glow when they are in the light.

Ohhhh, why did you get rid of the salmon?

 

[noreaster]

the salmon grew about 6 inches in the short time I had them.

They were also starting to bite my goldfish and sturgeon.

I never planned on keeping them anyway i just wanted something in my tank.

What did you do with the salmon. Grilled or broiled??

How friendly the perch is, I've never actually seen a fish act like that other than an oscar.

Any one know if these are pumpkinseeds ? or ?

 

[ksiaquatics]

Yes, they are pumpkinseeds. This is a very widespread fish and there is quite a bit of regional variability.

How did you get rid of the salmon, by the way. I hope you didn't release them back into the wild population. Just curious.
