This is a reply to both Mike and Ray.

Mike,

Well my 55g was just a green tub that I got about 2 years ago when I first
got into Natives. I went to Target and bought the 55g tub for like $16. I
have been keeping most of my natives in that tub for some time now and this
75g is their new home. Presently I have Green, Long Ear, and Pumpkinseed
Sunnies in there with 4 Shiners (they are very hardy and silver, almost like
a baby Fallfish) and 3 Tessellated Darters. Oh and also 2 Blue Ridge
Sculpins that are in a mass of Java Moss in a large homemade breeder net.

Ray,

As of now I have never had any problems with my Darters with my Sunfish.
Unless I can grown my Sculpins very large then they will never enter that
tank. I understand very much about how they would be munched. I will put my
3 Tessellateds that presently live with my Sunfish in the 75g with all the
other fish and if I see any of the Sunfish picking on them (which I have
never seen) then I will remove them ASAP.

Thanks guys,

Henry Deford
