Those are some spectacular fish you're catching! The tank is going to look great with that combination of species. Have you considered a small group of fallfish as dithers/midwater, sort of like how people use large bala sharks/silver dollars in cichlid show tanks?

Well, sorta.. I was gona try to add some shiners to the mixed or small shad just for that reason and also as food. So far I have 2 creek chubs which are for show and for food, mainly for the bass when I get them.

Fallfish get big enough that nothing in there would eat them (I've caught them at 18+ inches) and IMO are far more showy than creek chub. They're as silver as newly minted coins and they have that black etching around the scales.

Nice.. I can't wait to see all these guys in the 500.. You should get a few more perch and whipers. No luck on the largemouth huh?
