New Wild Rock Bass (with pictures)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think what I did was legal, I skimmed the manual the night before. Him and the largemouth are even more tolerant of each other today. The are both swimming all over and past one another with no snaps or anything. I think this green guy is actually helping the bass become more active within the tank. By the way is there any reason why the bass looks to be hiding under the openings on my lid. (Where the lights aren't.) He seems like he's avoiding the light, Ive noticed him moving around more when I cut them out for the night. I think Ive asked this before but is there a less harsh bulb style for the tank that would also look cool. I know bass like lower light, and that I like that actinic blue style light, is that a perfect match. Nice cool blue light for me and him? Eh?
 
I dont know....I used natural light coming through window with sheers during the summer and just light in the winter.

It IS legal in Pennsylvania to keep native caught fish in an aquarium, as long as, the fish was caught legally (season, size, creel limit).

Question
Are there any regulations that prohibit an angler from taking fish from waters in PA and using them in an aquarium environment? Some fish have to be of a legal size limit to keep, others not, but can you keep them alive and keep them legally?

Answer
If the fish are legally caught, meaning in compliance with season, size, and creel limits and licensing requirements, they may be kept in an aquarium. Your success in keeping them alive would depend on a number of factors.
Converting wild animals, including reptiles, amphibians and fish, into pets is NOT a recommended practice in most situations. Many wild fish do not adapt well to typical aquarium environments.
