as long as they are not to small youll be fine / cause ive had smallies with everything and as long as the other fish arent to small/ they do fine together / but sometimes certain fish will beat up on the smallies /trust me ive seen it with my own EYES
the other day i went to the river to catch smallies and i see a little fish swimming to shore really slow. Iknew he was a smallie so i net him and hee seems fine but i knew something was wrong because the water was cold and he swam right into shore so i take him home quick because ive always wanted a smb as a pet. when i open the bucket hes dead. it was a sad momment.
I think based on the fact that most NA natives prefer cool water vs. pbass that like hot water, that alone would be a consideration...but who's to say it can't be done? If you do try I'd make sure you have plenty of water circulation/oxygen!
