New 75 Gallon American Native Fish Start up Help

[LeePhan79]

I forgot to mention I had a pregnant Mosquito fish in there. It died this morning from wounds and I think my channel cat is the suspect. I seen him kinda chase my crappies and bass. I took the mosquito fish out and removed the babies. All fry's were not ready to be born, all had a small yello yolk sac still atatched. I fed my crappies with them.

Im going to get rid of the Cat and maybee the yellow bass.

+1 on upping the filter, get a canister filter (filtering double tank size usually works well since those seem like large fishes) or setup a wet/dry. I personally use a Rena Xp3 on a 60 gallon with one red devil

I think im going to get rid of the channel catfish. Plecos I bought at the petshop for $1.99 each. Probably give them away once they get too big. They arent native anyways so its been bothering me. Crayfish in my tank are there for just feeding purposes. Crappies LOVE them.

The filter im using is a Marineland Emporer 400

Here are the baby crawfish, there about 1 cm long. I can litterally catch thousands of them.

Hey man im in Dallas as well, where you get all your natives from? Im always looking for a place to get juv. natives. Some are easy to catch, but the Crappie fingerlings and LMB not so much. Willing to share?

Always nice to run into a local. I get my creatures from a private pond that my co-worker owns in Forney. I do have 2 crappie fingerlings, a channel cat and a yellow bass I would like to give away. What kind of fish do u have?

Ive got 2 juvenile peacock bass. Im def. interested in the crappie. They would have to be atleast 3-3.5", about the same size as the peacocks. They will be going into a 280g tank so they should have plenty of room to roam. Hit me up in pm with your contact info, if they are the right size ill take them immediatly!
