500 Gallon Native Tank
- Thread starter JasonsPlecosCichlids
- Start date
The sunfish in the 500 are for food, so if they do manage to tag one, thats ok. I have some rather large craws and Im sure they can bring down even the biggest sunfish in there which is only about 5"
Im setting up a 220 darter tank, well it will have more than darters, suckers, shiners, minnows, redfin shiner, etc. 
Man you have some nice natives!
I've been away for a while, but will make sure to keep checking your threads!
I love natives!

went to the lake yesterday (thursday) and caught this beautiful 14''-16'' northern pike and immediately thought of this tank... one of them would be awesome in there, wish i would have though of taking a pic.
That would be nice to have
But I decided to get rid of all my larger fish and stick with sunfish, darters, crappie, madtoms, etc. I dont have room to install that big filter I got till I move in my house next year. I can always get these fish back.
In my 220 I have rainbow darters, chubs, steelcolor shiner, redhorse, chubs, few other types of darters.
In the 265 I have warmouth, rockbass, bullhead, crappie, longear and pumpkinseeds.
In the 500 I have my last big fish, a 16" smallie that I just couldnt part with yet, longers, rockbass, warmouth, pumpkinseeds and crawdads. I ordered some more wood so when it gets here hopefully next week I will take a video of the new 500 setup. I will post 2 videos of the 220 and 265 tonight or tomorrow.
