, had one but he got chewed up by the bullheads
They max out at around 18-25 inches long, eat a lot and usually need cool running high oxygenated water in rocky riffles. They arent very aggressive and eat everything from bottom ooze to bloodworms and scuds. They would need a big tank and plenty of hiding spaces if they were put with aggressive fish like sunfish, pickeral or bass. I would not recommend putting them with other bottom dwellers like catfish or plecos.
I was also pretty interested about white suckers. they are a very nice looking sucker fish. i actually caught a 1 1/2pound jigging for pike the other day. i figured they would be great for fish tanks. How is it doing in your tank? how did you catch a small enough one?
right now hes doing fine eating regular fish flakes and algea waffers, i got him from the bait shopOwain4;4819004; said:
ha lucky americans! its illegal here to use live bait (besides worms and maggots). so its very hard to get native aquarium fish
