Yeah, the cases of agression are fairly isolated, generally just around feeding time. And for the canister media, should I just put it right in the bottom of the tank?Yep, but the best thing you could do would be to open up the old canister and get a little media out of it. Is the crappie doing OK?

No, you want it in an area of high volume flow. That means you put it inside your filter or at the end of an air stone.And for the canister media, should I just put it right in the bottom of the tank?

I'm using a sponge filter, so should I just put it in the hollow center?No, you want it in an area of high volume flow. That means you put it inside your filter or at the end of an air stone.

I'm curious how many minnows it would take to keep the bass distracted. Given a supply of live food, mine will eat until he's full to capacity - not just until he isn't hungry, but until it's backed up out of his stomach and interfering with his gill movement, and his sides are all lumpy where crayfish claws are poking about, and he'll grab one last minnow that he can't even swallow and hold it in his mouth by the tail waiting for the rest to digest so he can swallow it.

Open the picture up in a photo editing program (for example Paint, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Photoshop, etc) and use the program to resize the photo. The commands vary by program but the general goal is to reduce the file size by reducing the number of pixels in width and height.How do you reduce file size? I have some pictures of my Crappie loving his new home that I would love to show you guys and gals!
I recommend saving the resize under a different name from the original picture, that way you keep both.
An example command string:
1. Right click on image file
2. Select "Open With" -> "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
3. "File" -> "Save As"
4. Save the file as the original name plus the word 'resize' at the end.
5. Close, do not save changes.
6. You may have to refresh your photo folder to see the new file, which will have the word resize after the original name.
7. Right click on the resize file
8. Select "Open With" -> "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
9. Click "Picture" at the top and then "Resize"
10. Reduce the percentage of the original width x height. Aim for something under 800 x 800 pixels
11. Save.
