yes i do love the beasts. here are a couple more pics with a different background. which do you guys like more the backround pics on page 1 or this one? im also waiting for a storm to blow in so i can go down to the lake and find a piece of driftwood that would imitate a root system.
I catch Bowfins everytime i go fishing. Is it legal for me to keep them, sale them, and ship them?
How much would i get out of them do you think?

well to begin with, it is illegal to sell any native fish without a permit. secondly, if you catch one that is at least the size limit, then yes you can keep them. i have no idea how much you would make but i wouldnt try to sell them if i were you, thats my opinion.FavCatfish;2347097; said:
can you get them onto pellets? or at least frozen food?
are they very active?
i am worried a little bit about aggression if i were to get one ... i think it would look cool in a "ancient" tank with sturgeon and gar ... but the sturgeon would be the focus of the tank as they are my favorite, and i would not want to risk anything messing with them ...
but i suppose the same is true of the gar, so i would wait until the sturgeon have gotten to a decent size, and then add gar and bowfin that were considerably smaller ...
that'd be ok, right?

i imagine if your tank is very large and each fish has its own personal space that they should be fine.new2natives;2347492; said:
Bowfin can be trained on market shrimp, havent heard about pellets, but if i could get a bluegill and a bass on pellets, you probably can too. i put them in a tank where other fish ate flakes and then they saw they were good and went after them in like 3 days, the bass took much longer tho. after that, i introduced pellets and they took them!
hope this helps
mine eats large pellets. was only aggressive toward my red bay snook. my ornate bichir pushes him around a bit. i dont think you would have a problem doing a ancient tank with one. i really dont think it would bother the sturgeon.new2natives;2347492; said:
