Recently Collected Natives

[landonc]

Im starting to become a North American Native fish guy rather than the exotics, its amazing to see that these stunning fish are just miles away from your home living in the wild. Most exotic fish are wild caught and I dont see why natives would not be collected. These guys are the only ones I brought home today (more collecting tommorow). I have them in a 10g over night for disease treament and acclimidation.

1 Black Crappie (10 inches), 1 White Crappie (8 inches), 1 Blue GIll (5 inches).

These pictures are nothing compared to these fish in person, they are stunning! The pictures arent the best of quality I know, though they are also acclimidating when the pictures were taken. What do you guys think?

Nice. I've always liked native tanks but never done one. I was hooked when I first saw the monster pondn at the Bass Pro-Shop near me.
