A few pics of my new 210 gal tank, partially set up. I'm waiting for my plant order to arrive so I can finish setting it up.This will be the new home for the following, 3 green sunfish 3 pumpkinseed 3 black bullhead and 4 yellow perch. I would like to add a few more fish. Any suggestions on what other fish I can add in the mix. I'm hopeing for a community tank.

Thank's Octavio

I keep bouncing around between a 125, 180, and 220..so it's nice to see one set up (or partially so!).
Right now I am "homing in" on either a 125 or 180, mainly because the fish I plan on keeping(just a massive amount of smaller slack water types), just don't need the height.
Anyway..that looks like it will be an awesome looking tank!

What kind of plants are you planning on adding to your tank?
Some Longear Sunfish might do ok in that mix.
It looks nice.

A few pics of my new 210 gal tank... home for the following, 3 green sunfish 3 pumpkinseed 3 black bullhead and 4 yellow perch... I'm hopeing for a community tank.

Forget the sunfish... push the driftwood to the back wall of the tank... add a few maxi-jets... then you will have yourself an awesome chub tank! Plenty of room for a breeding trio of nocomis... add some hydrophlox shiners and a mess of darters (with 210 gallons I could go on and on)... you will really have a community tank...!!

Thank's everyone, the wood is LFS bought and plants going in are Dwarf Hairgrass, Giant Hairgrass, needle leaf Ludwigia, Rotala Wallichi and Vallissnera gigantea. If I did not have these fish already I would also go with a ton of the smaller fish. #-o

If possible, I was thinking bluehead chubs, northern studfish, redfin pickerel and longears. What do you
guys think or am I gust dreaming! Let me know, all suggestions are appreciated.

Thank's Octavio

I think the big lepomis, perch, and bullheads you listed should be sufficient. The minnows and longears may be too small. When the pickerel aren't being predatory, they're cowardly. I'd recommend a single species tank for those.
