This is my 75 gallon aquarium with native Florida fish. (And 4 guppies I love too much to get rid of.)
In this tank I have some Golden Topminnow, Metallic Shiners, Lined Topminnows, Bluefin Topminnows, and a Bluespotted Sunfish. I have one little stand out Melanistic Golden Topminnow. The Metallic Shiners are definitely my favorite. I recommend anyone keep them. The tank is fed san Fransisco bay freshwater frenzy and live flightless fruitflies. Everyone has been healthy and getting big.

Very nice! I like that community of fishes you've put together. I also see a female flagfish in there. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much. Yeah. I forgot to list her. She was an oddball. I didn't mean to catch her. I was aiming for a school of golden Topminnows, she was swimming with them. I'd like to find her a mate soon.

Nice community tank believe you have some type of silverside as well.

Yes I do. I believe he's a Labidesthes vanhyningi. I actually caught 6 out of a huge school but most died before I even got home. He's the only one left. I'd love to get him a small school, as he's definitely a highlight for me and is doing really well. However silversides just don't do well when taken out of the water.

Amazing setup. I love florida native microfishes. I can see some wild gambusia as well as black striped topminnow. Any other species? Any information about this tank as well? Size etc. I'd love to make one of my own some day.
