About collecting fish, I don't think I would be the best. The most collecting I've ever done was a minnow trap. I'd also love some orange spotteds but I don't know if they are in my creek or not. Oh well, worst comes to worst I can always get them from jonah.
So as a first stock list guys, help me make this good.
Would this work:
1 pumpkinseed
3 creek chubs
(Any more room, if so what fish?)

Maybe your library will inter-library loan this for you.And if you were wondering, yes it is going to be planted, heavily planted with all native plants. So please feel free to suggest native plants since I don't know many.
Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania: A Complete Reference Guide
by Timothy A Block (Author) , Ann Fowler Rhoads (Author) , Anna Anisko (Illustrator)
http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/0812243064
It lists more than 200 aquatic plants found in Pennsylvania.
Here's a pdf by Penn State College of Agricultural Science. It has some but not all of Pennsylvania's aquatic plants, covering the most common ones.

So pretty much the conclusion is for my centerfish I will do either a pumpkinseed OR a rock bass with a small school of creek chubs to go with it.

So I will make a few possible stock lists and everyone, tell me whether YOU think they would work fine (long term)
Options are:
1 pumpkinseed
Or
1 green sunfish
Or
1 rock bass
Or
5 creek chubs
Or
3 yellow perch
Or
2 schools of shiners and some darters
Not asking for a favorite just want to know which ones YOU guys, in your experience or opinions think would work.
Really wish my friend had a 75
