New native setup!!!

[ivebeencanceled]

Notes: it filtered for a week but the water is still green.... mabye because of the plants/wood?

The smaller one has an injury on its tail i bileve...mabye from big one nipping at it?

Questions: would they nip a pelco to death if i put one in there? how about a bullhead?

What can i feed them besides earthworms?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are two baby green sunfish in it right now. its a 75 gallon and i am planning on putting a LMB in there.

As long as the pleco is too big for them to fit in there mouth it will be fine, and the same with the bullhead.
Crickets,mealworms,feederfish,freeze dried food(krill shrimp mealworms), they pretty much eat whatever.

Just make sure the Largemouth is as small as they are or it will probably bully them pretty good.

down south in florida some people net plecos, so you can look at them as natives. I personally love bullheads. I got alot of them. Mine have never tore up my plants in the tank or pond. I think you should get a pleco for the algea, but just remember thats not all they need to live a healthy long life.

how big is your tank? cause thats a good factor between deciding on a bullhead or pleco, cause bullheads get big, or at least most species do. Not to say plecos dont. I like the crawfish idea, keeps nice with the native setting, and dont get large enough to worry about upgrading the tank or gettin rid of your fish.

What size is the tank? I cant tell if its big or medium sized.
But i wouldnt go with a LMB or bullhead unless the tank is good sized.

Thats definatly tannins from the wood turning the water that color. A lot of huge public display tanks strive to create and maintain that effect in native aquariums. It reduces naturally with water changes. If you want to maintain it you need to periodicly add small fresh bogwood.
