I was going to buy a 55g-80g african cichlid tank but i think i changed my mind. I was thinking of collecting some native species found in our home lakes and hopefully breed them too. Now, i already did the research and i clearly know that in some states/ provinces ( i live in southern ontario, canada) you need a permit. What fish do you think i should stock? I was thinking about stocking it with a small school of yellow perch and a small school of sunfish and a ton of shiners mixed in between as a food source and to give the tank a more natural look. I can easily collect these fish as i go fishing alot so i dont need a seine net for the bigger fish but a trap will be needed for the minnows.Any suggestions on other fish to stock? Any tips you can give? What do you think about my setup?
