Im thinking next summer I will take a shot at keeping live plants from the lake. Maybe set up a seperate tank with just the plants, to get the hang of it.

Careful with that bro. theres a 95% chance youll get infested with snails.

I actually started out with about a dozen snails but I think the turtles ate them all within a week or two.

Great Tank --- The Yellow Perch are my favorite.

Had a LM Bass once... I killed all it's tankmates.

If I was going to do a native tank, I would do a school of perch

Keep up the good work !!!!!!!
