I recommend oak leaves which I have used extensively. They do not rot nearly as quickly as other native hardwood types. Great set-up, I really like the Green Sunfish.
@@jobr641 no, similar build on some of them but very different fish. I could throw some species names at you but I would feel bad giving advice when I'm not 100% sure.
Unfortunately they all passed. I wasn't home for the first several months of the year and the person there didn't take care of them. I'm going to try again though!

Thanks! I'll look for those. This time of year I have a bunch of magnolia leaves and that's about it lol
I literally just watched your last video about the green sunfish tank twenty minutes ago and I saw this pop up, great channel I just found it
Thanks for watching!! I'm glad you found it!
I love this channel!
@@outdoorsforachange thanks so much!
How many gallons is this tank?
@@UrbanDanceLegends 150 gallons!
@@CGLFishing Thanks it seems like it's very different dimensions from 150 gallon tanks I've had in the past.
@@UrbanDanceLegends it's a 150 tall or extra tall. Definitely a little strange dimensionally compared to most.
I spawned bluegill before in an aquarium and unfortunately no babies survived either😮, I setup a native fish mini pond with crappie and sunfish
Dang! Hoping I can have some success! I'm gonna need a mini pond if I succeed though!
@@CGLFishing yeah lol for sure
High protein foods like bloodworms or live stuff like blackworms should get em going
Going to give that a try!
Minnows too
I have a 40g. Breeder tank. What cichlid can I keep in this tank and how many?
I'm not very familiar with cichlids so not a good person to help with that!
It’s fine. I thought sunfish are in a cichlid family. Thanks.

What happen to the fish fry you hatched?
Unfortunately they all passed. I wasn't home for the first several months of the year and the person there didn't take care of them. I'm going to try again though!
How big are most of the green sunfish in the tank?
They vary a lot! Smallest is probably 4 inches, largest probably around 8 I would guess!
What size tank is that? I love it.
150 gallon tall!
@@CGLFishing wow, it's massive and extra heavy. Can you add a brace in the basement or crawl space?
@@outdoorsforachange you can but I put it directly over the concrete piling so I thought that would be enough!
@@CGLFishing ha, that should be good!
@@outdoorsforachange I hope so!!
