My 55 Gallon Native Aquarium 

Sunfish are some of the prettiest and funnest fish you can keep! Great setup!

very nice video~ love it all:) from Korea native aquarist~

Rad tank! You could try the 3 spike stickleback also...they have spines to avoid predation, but really cool mating activity and are pretty smart IMO

Have a 150 gallon with green sunfish, looking for a catfish?

Yes get crawdads! I love them as pets!

Does your sunfish have a cool personality like a cichlid?

a little bullhead in there would be cool. the pumpkin seed will ignore it.

I subscribed please upload more about you bluegill and how much they have grown I put one in my tank I have autism love vids

Another very cool video brother, 👍👏👏 Love your channel period. I get alot of motivation from your videos. Hoping to begin my own channel soon maybe in the next 6 months or so or depending on how long it takes me to get setup with a 125-250 gallon aquarium and especially the first fish for my channel which most likely will be a MBU puffer. Planning on doing weekly updates on raising one from very young to full grown. Again very cool video sir, looking forward to the next one! 😁

Whoever thumbs down is out right an unhappy person. Good video also is anachris native to u?? That's sick if so id pick a ton! i love that stuff easier than java fern.

How do you prep yo

If you still have this tank setup, look into getting some StoneCats/Madtoms. I find them under rocks in local streams for my native tanks. Many of them don't get much bigger than 4 or 5 inches. Watchout when handling them though, they can sting like a hornet.

Dee 55 setup is sweet. Really enjoying all the natural look u have put into it. Thanks for the updates on your other setups. 👊😎👍

lol that fish peaking in the drift wood is epic and hilarious...love it!

You should get mummichogs which are native to north america and are very pretty little fish

Native fish, in the area in which your are living, are as beautiful and interesting as any fish from abroad. Water parameters are much easier to keep. But also remember that just cause they also live in your neighborhood absolutely does not mean that they don't also require the room they may also require. Native wild- life will be protected; so just keep that in mind; at the worst, it'll be a simple inexpensive license that are easy to purchase where you live. But more than likely, it's just gonna be collecting them; that's as much fun as keeping them. And just like purchasing 'foreign' fish, minimizing any trauma or stress will save you both a lot of grief, a Lot of grief. Just cause the water will be much easier to maintain, remember it absolutely does not mean that the animals need any less attention to care, absolutely not; the care is 'easier', but 'it's' NOT absent. Just check-out the animal and it's needs the same way you do for anything else, and you'll be just fine. Native animals are generally not just easier to keep, they're every bit as awesome and as beautiful as any fish I have ever kept. I live in the States. I moved from one where you could lay outside nude day or night, any time of year 🙂. I didn't really appreciate it until I 'relocated' to another one. Holy-shit. I currently do not have heating or cooling in place. UMMM, yeah, it's crazy. Haven't been here that long so I'm not sure about the entire year. But a Big portion of it is triple-digits one day after the next; and I don't mean 101° either, 🥵. And a Big portion of the same year is wind and rain and snow at 20°, 🥶. It's nuts. I'll never take a damn thing for granted anymore that's for sure. Here, where I am currently, humidity notwithstanding, during the winter, water of 70° is like a sauna, and during the summer months, a day in the 90's is a cold spell. Give me the equator anyday. So especially for someone like me, and right now, you really don't have much choice in keeping a pet. I suppose if I were in the same type position in say, Barrow Alaska and insisted on Discus fish, or an ice-fish from the Arctic living in the Sonoran desert, I myself would be in some big-ass trouble. Sure, it can be done; but make life far easier on both you and your charge unless you dig masochism. Treat your pet's like you would your kid's you-guys. The world always turns, but the road over which it rolls is straight-ass up to you.

You go out and catch your pets? Real life Pokémon trainer

Where do you get your tanks from? I’m from NJ too and am looking into getting my first tank

Beautiful!!! Good job. I have a Warmouth in my mixed oddball/predator tank

Emerald shiner or two intermixed with those Goldens?

Love the scape and the color added by the plants!

I really like this tank. Very well done. The pieces of wood are very large. Does the tank get dark with tannins in between water changes? Very nice!

8in is not even close to being too big for that 75-gallon

I'm waiting for T shirts little brother!

What filtration are you running

nice, Ive started a planted Community Tank

I hope this is not a bother but how did you get the tank started? I tried natural fish and had died within two hours after showing a lot of red color (large mouth/blue gill). The same red color was found later on my two common plecos that died the next day. I had them for three years or so. Any advice would help for next time I would like to try. Thanks, Nick

Like it a lot, I have a 1 male and 2 female pumpkinseed and a largemouth bass

Hey do u think I can 1 bluegill in a 60 gallon

Emerald shiners...

That's badass

Sunfish get MEAN! I’ve had to separate my two bluegill from each other a few months ago. But I do keep my 9 inch bluegill with an 8 or so inch greensunfish and they never have problems. Also have had success sunfish with Oscars

A crawdaddy?! 🤣🤣

One thing for sure to keep in my head never make an aquarium filled with your countries native fish cuz mostly we have cichlids,huge catfish,snake heads eels that eats anything basically predators I wanna murder when they touch my expensive fish

Nice

Sunfish are the north american version of cichlids

Shiners are pretty docile fish. They shouldn't have a problem with anything, other than fish trying to eat em lol

I’ve read that pumpkinseeds are very aggressive.

Are those shiners in your tank and if so how big do they get?

nice native aquarium can you try to create a largemouth bass tank. cause i need to have something to go off of if you don't mind.

This video was so cool! What was your method of catching them and making sure they were healthy ans safe for the tank? I'm looking to do the same thing!

What type of rock is in this tank? i love the look.

Love it.

What do you feed your sunfish?

Love the scape!

Very nice, this I like.

What do you use as substrate

Wanting to set up a outdoor pond. A small hard plastic liner above ground, should I use a uv sterilizer? I plan to plant lotus and lilies in it

A normal caption for once

How do you know which rocks are on to use without jacking the water quality up? How do you make sure there are no parasites or nasty fungus or anything on the plants?

Great tank, I have a 60 gallon with 2 black nose crappie and a bullhead. Had them over a year and they are getting big! I used to have live plants but I struggle with algae terribly even with weekly water changes, any tips would like to try again

I love it

Suoer cool tank

there are eight shiners :)

Would a smaller pleco work in there?

He said crawdaddy

Cool keep it up

Tank looks great

Looks sick man 🔥
