A 55 gal tank should be fine for two of them.

Thanks a Ton everyone, I am glad to know what they are and also glad they will stay on the smaller side. I really enjoy watching these 2 in the tank, they seem to be pretty interesting fish, fairly active (mostly at night) and they don't hide as much as some of the other fish I have.
Thanks Again for taking the time to help
Last pic: That's a sharp looking largemouth. How big is it? Are the gambusia food?

Thanks Dean, i have 2 LM both are about 4" ...He was ,i suppose being nosey while i was getting pics of the perch lol! I will be moving them to a 240 gallon soon. We are hoping to get started on a pond when the weather cools a little and as long as everything goes well with that they will be in the pond. Yes the Gambusia is food, I raise them out in a seperate tank and release them in small groups to feed the bigger fish. I found that when i had too many Gambusia in the tank at one time, they bullied the other fish and even tried to pick the slim coat off of them. I also have about 11 blackstripe top minnows as well, the largest is the same size as the bass. Thanks Again for the comment

I love orange spotts. I am trying to catch and photo some so I can have caught and photographed the fishes of Wisconsin... (just started this year and suprisingly am getting near half way done!)
I wish you luck with them!
Thank you , I have done alot of fishing for sunfish and these are the first that i have caught ( that i know of). I caught these at the edge of the pond at night with my dip net, by running it under the moss and greenery.
I think that is really cool that you photograph the fish in your area, i would love to do that. I find it really hard to pull myself away from the water at times, i would stay out for hours just seeing what all I can catch. Though i let most go, on occasion i keep a little something for the tank. Thanks Again, and good luck on your fish hunting.

Yes, gambusia can be mean. I've actually had them kill a juvenile largemouth through nipping. A bit of revenge I guess!
