Okay well for starters I live in Ontario so some of the species listed here aren't accessible. Right now I have something like 12 minowish fish, I think they are creek chubs from what I can tell, I also have 2 smallmouth fry around 1.5 inches long, 1 inch long rockbass and 1 blue gill and I will be getting a brown bullhead catfish soon. I am quite interested in owning some more strange species like crappies,gobies and suckers and many more but I have no clue where to get them or care for them. If someone knows where I can get them or if they know somewhere i can buy them that would be great if you can see any problems let me know.
First of all, what size tank do you have? Crappies, bullheads, and smallmouth all get pretty big.

Im hoping to give my little minows more of a fighting chance by providing some good coverage and keeping my bass well fed. I was hoping maybe if I grow out my minows with the smallmouth bass they might not get eaten but that might just be wishful thinking. Do you think a smallmouth bass will fit in a 90 gallon?
No, the Smallmouth will get too big, and seem to like lots of space too. I would stick with the smaller sunfishes, Longears, Bluegill, etc. No matter how much you feed your Smallmouth, the minnows would be gone. They are eating machines.

Of course I am speaking totaly ignorant of what laws might be in place up there now but explore. Leave the larger fish for the diner plate is my opinion. Given the chance to keep one bass in a ninety which may be too small a tank for him any way, or lots of smaller more exciting fish I would go with the group any day.
