Just wondering if anyone else ended up with the same setup as me. I initially was going to just have Catfish and Crappie in my 8 ft tank. And breed crawfish and minnows in a separate tanks for fish food.
Well, the crawfish eat their babies and fight all the time in a smaller tank. And the larger minnows die instead of breeding in a small tank. So, they all kinnda ended up in my big fish tank, along with a few Perch I caught in my trap. I lost a few catfish due to fighting the crawfish for hiding spots, but all in all seem to be coexisting fine. I am hoping this way if any minnows, or crawfish have babies, my crappie will get to eat them first! Thats the plan anyway, but it seems to change by the hour these days.
Anyone else has this many different species in one tank??
