It's only a 125g tank but its well maintained. Thanks for the compliment.

That was a huge water change, your fish look great though. I love seeing native fish in tanks, I have a tiny bluegill right now, can't wait till he grows up.

Thanks for looking! (Shadowbass is my wife.) Bluegill get bigger then most of the fish in our native tank except the LMB and the bullhead otherwise we'd have one of those to lol.
We did have a checkered madtom in there with them till the red devil tried to eat his head and we had to move him to tank by himself.

Not a huge water change to me lol. That was after it had been filling for a little while. I do about 75-80% water change a week and break down and clean all the filters at the same time. The natives we keep are about as sensitive as a brick and actually get really frisky during a water change. As to looking good they oughta considering they get fed hikari gold cichlid pellets, krill, market shrimp, and the occasional silversides and cod filets. We run a total of five filters on our tank and there needed to keep the water sparkly clear. Don't know if youve kept natives before but there ungodly messy lol.
