My hognose died like that too :( his sucker just got all inflamed and he died after a couple of weeks. I didnt have to catch mine though; I can get them at the bait store for cheap.

Have you considered getting any bowfin? I haven't read this entire thread so if you said it before I probably missed it lol

Are you sure that they are not white suckers that you got from the bait stores? I can't find any information about hogsucker being sold in bait stores. Perhaps you should post a picture of your suckers?

Yea, I had in my last native 265 tank, but he was a trouble maker. When I set this tank up I told my self either I'm going to get one monster bowfin or a bunch of fish as I have now, whichever comes first. Since bowfin are about 2 hours from me I just went over the hill and caught what I wanted.

Im not sure why the hogs died, the big one had a rolled up sucker since the day I got him, the smaller one was perfect, both sifted thru the rocks often. I wonder if they need more current. I'm going to get a few koralinas and try it again. Plus the tank is is better shape than it was when they were in there.

I asked the bait shop if they ever get any but they dont.

Hogsuckers are quite sensitive in their environment and are intolerant of pollution.

Actually Ozark Bass is not a subspecies of Rock Bass but completely separated species. Just have to correct your information.

MN Rebel, Your right they are a separate species according to science (I totally disagree with this and would like to call them a subspecies) but Wikipedia even put this explanation in the Rock Bass section "Ambloplites constellatus, a species of rock bass from the Ozark upland of Arkansas, and Ambloplites ariommus are true rock bass, but regarded as separate species."
