If you really want your pumpkinseed to be happy, he's going to need at least 300 gallons, a flatscreen TV with an automatic timer to watch The Price is Right every morning & bi-weekly gill massages...

Thank you for this. T

Too often somebody post a question about his tank and someone thinks they need to be the fish tank police, the thread turns into a complete tangent about why he doesn't have more than a 55 for his bla bla or something completely tangent to his original question.

Congrats to your son on his fine fishing skills! Bob & Rocky seem to have found themselves a great new home. :)

Thanks RD.

Also picked up a 4" marbled bullhead a few weekends ago, in a barter, which has been residing amiably with Bob.

Due to busy schedule with the kids, massages has been cut down to just once a month lol

These guys are in my unheated basement, so they've been a bit inactive with the cooler water temp(+/- 50F). But, with the temps slowly creeping up, they are starting to show some signs of vigor. Bob(SMB) is starting to beg for food again more frequently and Rocky is more piggish than he has been in the last several months

When I had my smb with some sunfish he pretty much ignored them but he hated the slightly smaller more timid bass in there with him, he eventually beat it up so bad I had to put it down. Then he went after the sunfish so it was his time to go too. But it's good that you're get along

Pics are in 1st post of this thread from back in Oct. Haven't really grown much since then since they haven't really eaten heavily during the winter.
