This is just a short vid of how my tank currently looks. In the vid you will see some new fingerling sized Pickerel which were introduced last week, a Pumkinseed Sunny I have had for nearly 2 years, some 4-spine Sticklebacks introduced a few months ago, Sheepshead Minnows, mummichogs, striped killifish, and other assorted riff raff that I have trapped. In hiding is a large crayfish that recently shed and a Bumblebee Catfish (the only non-native fauna in the tank). As for Flora, I have native Anacharis (Elodea) and some not-so-native Java Fern and Java Moss, and Anubias.

ReplyDeleteI dont have any sticklebacks myself, but im pretty sure they would eat bloodworms and perhaps some brine shrimp.

if you get another to go along with the one you have now, you can watch them duel each other. its the strangest thing. mine do it all the time. they dont make any contact, they just go at each other. lolz
