Pirate perch anyone?

Recently I caught some and thought they might be cool additions to one of my native tanks. So is anyone out there keeping them? haven't seen any posts mentioning them for a few years. might try to grow some out and add them and some mudminnows in with my pickerel

if you dont wanna read that then: they get 2- 5 1/2 inches so 15 gallons~ driftwood and leaf litter. normal temps 41-75F and feed bloodworms pellets(if you can get them to eat) and small fish(not recommonded)

None at the moment I let them all go. that was a good resource, nanfa always has something good. Live food shouldn't be an issue I have colonies of amphipods, daphnia and shrimp. planning on going out later in December to catch more
