OK a 6 foot 180 gallon. What can this be stocked with????

I was thinking LMB, pumpkinseeds and bluegills. Let me know how many of each or if at all????

Thanks

Bass may harass the sunfish, but you can try it. I would do 1 Bass and maybe 4 or 5 sunfish, but have a plan in case it doesn't work out.

how wide is it because dpending on the species of bass they get 2'+, but other than that you could have 7-8 sunfish, or 1-2 bass along with a few sunfish and maybe even a bullhead catfish

We have over a thousand native fish! Bass are blah to say the least. I say ditch the largemouth and consider a tank with some life to it and look at the other native fish out there. Besides, the bass will eat/kill the other fish leaving you with a big green goldfish with a black stripe.

watermelon trout!

I agree on skipping the LM... can you maybe get one of the smaller growing species like a suwanee, etc? Otherwise, I'd go with the 'seeds, 'gills, and maybe some warmouth...

Personally, I'd do a riffle style tank. Don't know what kind of Cyprinids you have up in Ontario, but I think a rocky tank with lots of flow, minnows, darters, and inverts is about as cool as you can get.

I second this, my riffle tank is the one I enjoy watching the most.
