Personally I wouldn't keep walleye unless ya have a 300g or bigger. As for crappie a 120-150g for a single fish would be alright I would think.
Really? The perch here won't spawn untill the water temps reach upto 82-84°F, usually around late July. Granted I will say that temps in SD here do vary wildly from a day to day basis so maybe that's a factor in it. Generally when temps are at 76-78°f I tend to catch them at only 2ft deep at most but once spawning temps have been reached I won't catch them any shallower then 4ft.
I figured, I think if I get anything, I’ll stick with the perch
they spawn in the spring here in CT when water is colder.....they retreat during the summer and winter. we catch em at 15-20 feet during the winter.
Yeah if any native fish you'd want to steer clear would be minnows and bluegill. They like highly oxygenated water that stays cold. They do not handle temp changes easily at all. Think of em like discus, any change in the water temp and you'll have tons of dead fish.
My tank doesn’t get anywhere near 79, it’s room temp, but we run the ac at 73 8 months a year. $$$$ lol The tank stays pretty consistent at 74-75.
Huh, ig it just depends on what they are already used to for temps on how well they will tolerate it. Mine got along fine in the tank but I kept the tank at roughly the same temp that it is in early summer here. Only time I had problems with em was when my dad added a 1in mbuna to the tank, this lil tiny fish ruled the entire tank of predators with an iron fist. That was one of the few fish we ever had to feed to the cats just because of how aggressive it was. It was also our first time dabbling in cichlids.
