Someone is asking my opinion about whether or not that's a good idea and I don't have any experience with those fish, so I'm extending the question to all of NANFA. If you think that's a good stocking plan then please say so. If you think the fish are all going to kill one another, I'd like to know.

A heavily planted tank with a group of black crappie and larger, calmer minnows (do you have finescale dace - Chrosomus neogaeus - in NC?) would be beautiful.

I'm not saying that 8lbs smallmouth bass do not existed.....but they are not excatly common or average at that size, let alone in a home aquarium.Fed quality food year round I not be surprised if 8 lbs realized. I had some very respectable largemouth in only four years and they were fed mostly pellets. To my eye they also looked much better than anything you might see at a Bass Pro display tank. Raising one a tank smaller than 100 gallons would be rude.

Oh, no. That was a theoretical tank someone asked my opinion on. Having no expertise in the subject, I started this topic here. I think the group consensus is that the crayfish would become a snack for the fish. Also the fish load would lead to a very fast nitrate accumulation rate and high maintenance frequency. Therefore I recommended that the aquarium not be constructed (as originally designed).Erica, did you ever get the 150g stocked and running?

Ahhh, it helps to remember the original post thank you for replying.Oh, no. That was a theoretical tank someone asked my opinion on. Having no expertise in the subject, I started this topic here.
