IN YOUR HEAD
just caught a 2" lmb and 11-2.5" sunfish including 2 hybrids...the sunnies are eventual food for my other fish, but the bass i will grow up...i first got it as food also, but after i got home i thought about it and now it is in a grow out tank...it will eventually go in a big tank with tsns, aro, gar...i want to get a lake sturgeon, maybe some pbass and a paddlefish and a few others yet to be deturmend....the lmb ate 2 ghost shrimps yesterday and a chunk of market shrimp today...i have had it for three days now...
 
You must have a huge tank to be able to consider housing that many soon to be monsters, comfortably
 
i will be building a 10'x5'minx3' i might add a few feet to the width but that is the basic footprint
 
you better go bigger if you want lake sturgeon and paddle fish cuz 5' or let alone if you could ge to 8' wouldnt cut it for width, other wise I would skip them and get the pbass
 
in the 20yr it takes the sturgeon to get 50" i will have time to plan an or finish my massive pond...but i will see...
 
here are some pics of the bass...the tsns will be in a diff tank as soon as they can't be eatten in that tank...then the bass will go in with them when it gets bigger...

i moved the bass into my african tank a few days ago...i coulden't stop checking and thinking that the tsns ate him...i have balas and other fish with my africans so they wont kill him....
