Need second opinion for native colors

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thank you. It's still a work in progress. I still need better lighting, better background, and natural sand. Also some more fish.
My current Stocklist is:

4 Lepomis marginatus (Dollar Sunfish)
1 Lepomis cyanellus (Green Sunfish)
3 Notorus species (1 Brindled, 2 Speckled Madtom)
1 Florida Bullhead, it's awesome. It is like a black and white peppered look. They keep the coloration through maturity too.

I plan to add some pumpkinseeds, maybe some orange spotted sunfish, maybe a rock bass or shadow bass or mud sunfish (if I could ever find a source for any of them), and a yellow perch or a sacramento perch. Sacramento perch can get big (17" max in aquarium more or less) but when with other sunfish, their growth is slowed down as a result of competition. Also, these fish are all being raised from juveniles, so by the time they start getting larger, I will have the money to upgrade. I'm budgeting now, so I'm not one of those people who gets an arowana when they have a 20 gallon and claims they're going to upgrade as it grows. Lol

What kind of Florida Bullhead is that?
 
Mine darkened up considerably once I got a black background. How long have the gill been in there. It takes a good week to get there color back usually. They just need to get comfortable. that tank looks great. It sounds like you have a great stock list going. I would second the yellow perch idea. They look amazing in a tank.
