Hello F Fishyboi4 ,
That's pretty cool that you keep native fish in your aquarium. I like your tank and stocking that you have. I'm a fisherman and have thought about keeping native fish in the past. It sounds like they have cichlid like behavior which is cool. Have you thought about growing your own brine shrimp? That would be pretty neat. Those fry would devour those brine shrimp being so tiny and all. Good luck with your new fry.

Thanks, I'm a fisherman and always loved to learn about the fish in our local waters too. Yes, they do have cichlid like behaviours. They will pick on other fish their size and fish bigger than them sometimes too but it's nothing too aggressive to be concern of. Their also very territorial. I've had all sorts of native fish in my tank before and its fun. I've always wanted a baby striper but I wouldn't have the tank for it. I would love to grow some brine shrimp but I wouldn't know where to start, although I will probably look into it. I'm sure it would be a difficult process though.
