So MultispeciesTamer, if you don't mind me asking where did you buy your fish. You have an incredible collection. I really want to do my next tank all native species with LMB, crappie, bluegill and channel cat. It's a long way out cuz I will need a pond of a tank (300 gallons+) to throw those bad boys in, but I could really use the help with where to find them. No luck so far in Washington or online.

I got my bass from a Arkansas fish farm the comes to town to sell fish. The channel cats are from a fish farm and my personal one i got from a LFS. The crappie and bluegill are all local caught fish. But i was going to order a bunch of fish from this place but never got the space for the fish so heres a link send them an email and see if thell ship to wear you live http://jonesfish.com/categories/2/1/-img-src-images-buttons-fish-stocking-jpg-border-0-.htm. Best of luck finding natives. Theres also a few other places that sell natives online heres more links

Stop feeding him the protien powder he might stop growing so fast.

This contradicts the doomsday warnings of megabass that will eat my face off. I just got a LMB off a buddy. I was afraid I'd be building it a pond, but your comment gives me hope. So, how low do you keep your nitrates and what do you feed him? What temp? I wonder if they stay smaller at higher temps.
Here's my baby. Just over 1" in a 20g tall with plants and a big sump. I feed him twice a day with the sump off while he hunts down his critters. A quick blast of the powerhead at his food really gets his predation going. And he watches me, knows that my fingers mean worms. Already taming at day two.
