Crappies look really nice in a tank...almost like a managuensis. If you cant get the crappie let me know and I can likely get you a couple 2-3" juvies. I usually can get 2-3" chain pickeral as well, which look stunning. What size tank are you doing this in?

I have always liked "native tanks". Have had many native fish in my tanks over the years. A few summers ago there were a lot of yellow perch that hatched out in the creek that crosses my parents farm. They are a prety addition to almost any tank, but I never could get any to live over a few months. When they are small they have a lot of color.
