I checked out that Zimmerman's fish website. If I decide to go ahead with the native tank, that is definitely where I'll be ordering from. Thanks everyone for all of the info and advice.

i would go with some warmouth. im making my 10g into my new cichlid tank for a bit and getting some natives for a change. im going to get a small northern or a smallie and keep it untill its to big and release it. but for tank mates im thinking 4 to 5 bluegill and a few crappie and a bull head in a 60g tank. i wouldnt be to worried about aggression as long as the fish are kept fed and have a good aquascape to keep their minds occupied

It is against the law to release captive fish back into the wild, please do not do that; a 60g is way to small for a Smallmouth and a Northern Pike, Depending on the Footprint(dimensions) I wouldn't go smaller than a 400g.
 
well would it still be illegal if my uncle had a permit from the state since he has a hatchery? because i was just gonna get fingerlings to put in the tank and since its illegal for me to release them i could give them back to him when they get to big

As long as he dosent release them into the wild, but I would still get fish to put into your 60g that can live there for at least 2-3yrs.
