Nice looking tank!
Thank You! Really enjoy your channel and really jealous of your new 240 gal its looking awesome! Love the stumps in there.
Thanks!
Zachary Lange Awesome tank and great work! At least with native fish a heater isn't needed. Will they breed in captivity?
Holy moly that is great. Looks so natural but has a clean design
Hey thanks for the comment!
Wow! That looks fantastic!
Thank you
Dan i love your tank like i love this one i would like to keep european perch someday.
Gorgeous aquarium. Your fish were like where's our food? They totally love you.
Love your tank. I have 2 Pumpkinseeds..very agressive..and one perch. It is technically illegal for me to keep wild fish where I live but as long as I don't use them for bait or transfer to another watercourse I won't fret.
It's interesting how similar the wildlife is across North America, I'm all the way in North Idaho and my local lakes have the exact same stockings as your tank of Minnesota fish.
Im in alabama and we also have the same! 👍
that's cause a lot of fish have been spread well out of their native ranges.
Hell yeah brother that's how a tank should look !! Do some more tanks and you could make a big name for yourself on TH-cam
Subbed!!! Your tank is so cool
Very nice tank WELL DONE!
Fish get the most out of shrimp and crayfish and frogs. That’s what they mostly eat. Minnows and bluegills are substitutes. Well bass don’t usually eat bluegill at all, but minnows aren’t their normal diet. Shiners crayfish frogs great diet for them
nice set up, fish look happy and healthy...nice job!
Thank you!
New subscriber here. Beautiful native tank. Well done bud.
Awesome set up pal. My dream
Wow awesome. I have a 55 gallon with 2 baby green sunfish and 1 bluegill. This is exactly my goal for the future when they need a 125.
Awesome!
Hey man thank you for keeping panfish the right way!
Hey glade you enjoyed the Tank!
awesome! love native species!
Awesome! I also had a 125 gallon tank with many of the same fish. The bluegill and largemouth were my favorite. But I didn't have the cool looking plants.
Beautiful tank. 💙
Love it! That curved driftwood is the icing on the cake
That's the most beautiful native tank I've ever seen next year I'm gonna start my own native tank I'm unsure what size to get because I do want a largemouth so I might start with 100 gallons and some pumpkinseeds, bluegill and maybe a bullhead!!
Wow. This is my goal. I’ve started with three bluegills. Awesome job.
Beautiful tank. I have a couple pumpkinseeds in mine
That’s sick!
Nice tank. I have some pumpkin seeds also. Love it. Thinking about a perch.
This is epic! I'm setting up a 310g native tank and might have to copy your stocking list
Very nice!
Gorgeous
Very nice tank.
I like the tank setup. I like the fish.
Wonderful Tank
This is a beautiful native tank... I have a 125 and 40 plumbed together in a unified sump.. former saltwater system... i've seriously considered reviving it as a native freshwater system... I may give it a go sometime. I literally live up the street, short walk, to multiple ponds stocked with bass, perch, sunfish, crappies. I may make a slow build through the spring/summer. Collect rocks/wood/natural decor and slowly cycle the system again but for freshwater. Revive with native plants and fish. My 3yo daughter is loving the current tank and wants more. This may be the drive to get things going again :)
Thank you and yes you should give it a go! Only problem I had with native plants is the sunfish or bluegills would slowly eat and pick at them but that was just my experience.
Plants are on point
Sick aquarium
Cool Tank!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol this is the best native tank I've seen on yt
One of the best looking native tanks ibe seen! I've got a few videos of my 55gal native tank, its not this nice tho... great job👍
Thanks defiantly gonna check those out then
This is the type of tank I dream about
I was very interested in a native setup for my aquaponics
I would love to have that bluegill!!
Gorgeous tank and fish. I want to do something similar.
Thank you. They are great fish to keep
Late comment, but i love your tank! thinking of making a guadelupe river native tank myself and 125 looks about right for my largemouth and channel cat fingerlings i have in a 40 for now want to upgrade asap for them
Tanks looks good man!!! would love to try a native tank
Thank you, Yes you should look into it the fish are hardy and easy to maintain. But still provide a lot of entertainment and good colors if you can get your hands on a couple pumpkinseeds or other species of panfish!
I'm really liking this tank! I had bluegills before years ago and it seemed like I could never keep the water clean more than 2days. How often do you do water changes and what filtration do you use?
I told the wife I would love to build a 800gallon aquarium for bluegills and have a fish fry once a year, but shes not a fan of fish for dinner now that we have an aquarium going.
Thank you I'm glad you like it! 15 gallons every two weeks and I have a 265 gph canister filter plus a bigger hang on back filter. No chemical filtration being used all mechanical and bio media
Love it! But one thing, you need a walleye in there lol
🤙
👌🏾
Thanks for posting this vid. Do you still have this tank? Where did you get the fish? Were they wild caught or did you buy them from a vender?
One of those pumpkinseeds might be a pumpkinseed X green hybrid. Did you get it from an area where green sunfish are also common?
Yes you are exactly right I had this conversation with a couple of other people as well!
one day I want to have a Minnesota native tank
I think i caught every fish species in the tank
All those fish did you catch personally????
How are they all so pieceful? I always have one dominant fish that bullies everyone else
Wao beautiful. Try to get bluegill and green sunfish, Golden shiner, carp, white sucker and Brown bullhead catfish to be really native tank..
Was your perch wild caught or did you buy it?
What are the dimensions?
How much power are you drawing?
Awesome tank! I think one of your pumpkinseed is actually a green sunfish 2:00 min
Thank you! Yes I have also heard they are possibly green sunfish x pumpkinseed hybrids as well.
It's a Red Ear Sunfish
How did u get your gills not to eat ur plant
Still got the tank going?
How are they not scared of the licht?! I had native roaches and they would freak out if I turned on the licht
What do you feed them?
i wish i had crappies in lake erie they only come for a month every year before winter ive only every seen 1 i wish they were native they come from lake ont.
do the sunfish like to rearrange like oscars do ?
What type of substrate is that?
Pumpkinseed hybrid mix with a greensunfish
Were do u buy the fish
Update?
What did you use for substrate for the tank?
All the substrate, rocks, and wood were collected from the shore of Lake Superior.
Overcrowded but nice
What water temp did you keep them at ?
Room temperature so like 68 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't use a heating source on this aquarium.
This is a true fish lovers tank. Too bad about the scratches. Never use the magfloat magnet or some kind of cloth that can pick up sand to clean off the algae.
Thanks! I bought the tank used. It is around 40 years old.
@@BWCAman123 Wow, that is an old tank! Must have been re-siliconed a few times huh?
Those pumpkinseeds look nothing like the ones I catch....anyone know why there mouths are that big? They almost look like green sunfish hybrids.
Yeah you are right they are hybrids I didn't know that at the time.
They are not pumpkin seeds. they are green sunfish!
why they didn't fight? someone big someone small。
The plants are just invasive just like in nature lol
i have 2 bluegills and they wont eat when i drop a worm in
Are you dropping full earthworms in? If so try cutting them into smaller pieces or try a different kind of worm. Might take them time to get use to new feed.
@@BWCAman123 yes ill try cuttn them
What's the substrate
Most of the substrate is Rhyolite from the North Shore of Lake Superior.
Those arent true pumpkinseed they are green sunfish x bluegill. They have larger mouths , there are also bluegill x green sunfish, same colors and fins, small mouths. But, your tank is better than mine so ill shut up
:) nice tank
Thank you I like reading feedback though. Yes I have heard from others as well that they are some type of green sunfish hybrid
@@BWCAman123 9 months later here I am watching this tank again
@@JimHerbertOutdoors thats awesome still have the aquarium running smooth
Bass don't eat Perch? Wth Why the big bass not eating the small guys?
Yes they defiantly will in the wild. But all these fish started out in a 90 gallon when they were small so they grew up together. I don't think the big bass associates them as food.
Food is gold fish lol
did you have permission for the mn dnr for them
kris ninneman There’s always one jerk that just can’t help himself! smh
as long as this brotha went out and bought his fishing license at any store or gas station in minnesota hes good to go. it only costs a whopping 27$ here in MN for your fishing license.
Kris, why do you care? Those fish are being well tended to. I bet you're quite a douche bag. Get a life and quit worrying about other people. Mind your own business. No one likes your kind.
Too many fish for native tank i think
