I have recieved a few pm about what I am feeding. So here goes, I feed different foods every day...all frozen except worms/crawlers. I also add the seachem nourish additive and garlic supplement to each and every frozen food..... it really seems to help with the fish health. I do not use live feeder fish since they are always have fungal, bacterial, and other health issues.... Its just too big of a chance to take with my fish....

Mon. panfish worms
Tue. squid
Wed. krill
Thu. night crawlers
Fri. sand eels
Sat. clam strips
Sun. silver sides

I have noticed quite a bit of growth in the green sunfish since I have gotten it.... and its color has intensified...

Those are some happy fish! I like your selection and placement of plants, the swords can grow huge and still not block the view! When everything fills in that is going to be one natural killer looking tank! Hopefully the bluegill and green are the same sex, they readily hybridize in the wild. Not trying to poke

you, but you might need a fry eater later on. I know if I was in that tank, I would be ready to propagate!

Thanks for the comments..... The fish are doing really well and are total pigs when it comes to feeding time...... I will be adding more fish in the future....So stay tuned in.....

Here's a crazy idea: have you considered smelt?

hmm I have not thought of smelt..... I am pretty sure they would just be food for the other fish but I will look into that.... Thanks for the suggestion!

not much new going on in the tank.... I had to take the Klien bar sword out..the current was ripping it to shreads..... the cardnial plant is growing up into the canopy and now has a beautiful plum color.... I am always amazed at he diffenance between the leaves above and below the watter

I have had a problem with fish destroying plants in the recent months.... I have thrown in a few new plants and we will see where it will go from there.... I will have some new pics up soon
