New 55 gallon native setup

[fatboy8]

So finally I have set the tank up in my basement once again and it's looking pretty good. The tank is outfitted with a AquaTop CF400-UV and an AquaClear 30 powerhead with the quick filter attached. My original idea was a European native tank which is in the process of being collected I have just received my look alike wels catfish today. So in the mean time I wasn't going to let this tank sit around with nothing in it so I went to my local creek and decided I wanted a few fish. So here's some pictures of the tank and the fish that would cooperate for pictures. My stock are
2x Pumpkinseed
2x Green Sunfish
5x Creek Chub
1x Spotted Bass
1x some species of chub
3x Crayfish

Now I know before people start saying its way overstocked it's not. My largest fish is my bass coming in at a monster 4.5" next is the unknown chub at around the same size then the Creek Chubs vary from 2-3" and the Sunnies are all silver dollar sized. If anyone could help identify the unknown chub I'd appreciate it. The tips of its fins are all a red or bright orange and it almost resembles a roach. One last thing the water isn't murky it's my power head creates a ton of bubbles and I think my color enhancing light bulb picks them up pretty well so I promise the water is not dirty it's crystal clear besides the bubbles of course. Hope everyone enjoys it.

It may be a silver or common shiner, they look like chubs somewhat but they look nicer when in breeding mode, and they get spikes on their heads as well. Creek chubs have a black spot on the base of their dorsal fins, silver shiners dont.

Cool that big one is a common shiner. It has those red tips on all of its fins.

Wait till you catch one about 10", full of pinks, purple, etc.

Looks good, but thats a largemouth not a spotted bass.

Yeah that's almost what I was hoping for. The chubs are for food and I started with 6 and now I'm down to 4. I wouldn't have an issue if any of the sunnies survive this.

I am going to have to go with this prediction.

Ive thought about doing a native tank, Ive got 3 or 4 ponds near me. Have you trained them to eat pellets or feeding live food?

 

[fatboy8]

I've only had the bass for roughly a week I haven't tried pellets or anything yet I've only been feeding him worms and creek chubs
