I'm looking for some perch, specifically; Yellow Perch - Perca flavescens and European Perch - Perca fluviatilis.

Has anyone kept them? Can they handle warmer water?

And does anyone know where to find them for sale? I could possibly catch myself some nice Yellows, but the European?

Any and all information is appreciated.
 
Where I live yellow perch live in black water lakes that are almost warm as bath water 6 months out of the year. Keeping them is all about feeding them, small live food should keep them alive quite nicely at first and allow you to eventually wean them to what ever food you want to feed them.
