Hmm... Good question. I'm in a rebuilding phase right now. I brought home a big nasty protozoan that took down a lot of fish before I finally broke down and used chemicals (tried to treat it with salt).
The tank is an Ohio themed tank, but that's kind of drifted. The species in there (this is more for my sake to get an update on what's in there) and where they're from if not Ohio...
central stoneroller - 3 large (male going tuberculate)
redside dace - 5
streamlined chub (KY) - 3
mississippi silvery minnow - (IN) 1
bigeye chub (KY) - 3
striped shiner (AL) - 5
cardinal shiner (MO) - 1 (large male) (not native to Ohio)
redfin shiner - 6
rosefin shiner - 2
golden shiner - 2 (1 large)
bigeye shiner - (MO) 4
blacknose shiner - (MI) 1
sand shiner - 4
rosyface shiner - 3
silver shiner - 1
spottail shiner - (MI) 1
southern redbelly dace - ~10
blacknose dace - (MI & OH) 6
lake chubsucker - (FL) 1
creek chubsucker - 3
silver redhorse sucker - 3 juvies
black redhorse sucker - 1 adult
trout-perch - 1
brindled madtom - 2 very large
tadpole madtom - 1
blackstripe topminnow - 2
orangespot sunfish - 1 large male
greenside darter - ~10
rainbow darter - ~10
bluebreast darter - (KY) 3
fantail darter - 2
orangethroat darter - 2
MO saddled darter - (MO) 5 (not native to Ohio - these will go into the 75 once I figure out my powerhead issue)
variegate darter - 1 very old male
banded darter - 5 (3 from MO)
gilt darter - 6
dusky darter - 1
This is pretty low species stock for me, but the abundances within species is pretty standard. I will add a lot of other species this spring. Standards that I'm missing are logperch, pirate perch, central mudminnows, hornyhead chub and mottled sculpin. I'm also going to try some lamprey ammocoetes. I'm usually at about 40-45 species in there.
And I'll get these other exotic guys moved when this spring comes about, or I get my flow issue resolved in the 75 gallon. When I'm using the spray bar on the 2100, there's not enough space for them, as there's less hi-flow area. That was resolved with the Maxijet modification, but I'm having trouble keeping those from breaking with the plants in the tank. So I have to find out some balance there. I'd like to get the variegates back into that niche in the 100 gal.
