Qestion about keeping blugills and bass

I haven't been on line latley, I started a third round of chemo late week and it's kicking my butt. I want to set up a large take this summer and keep some blue gill and other fish from the local lakes. I still have my 150 gal. tank but I would like to get a larger tank. What do you guys think would be good for this. Also if any one has a larger tank for sale let me know. Does anyone have a set up like this or know were I can get info. for it.

Thanks Rick

I have a bluegill. Better than any cichlid any day, if you ask me. very aggressive, though.

If you want large mouth bass you need a 300g tank I have heard and for smallmouth a 200g but this is all word of mouth so I have no clue... Yellow perch can be fun though

honestly u may be better off adding a water feature to your property. its my understanding that many of our local fish need much cooler water then the inside of your home would be. just my two cents. you might be able to get away with it in a garage or something and no heater. either way sounds like a fun idea. GL to ya man.

you could get a water cooler.. they make em. .... just need a big enough tank because our local fish all get pretty big.

Thanks for the comments folks, gives me alot to think about. I was thinking about a 300 gal tank or bigger and a cooler is a must have.

Thanks Rick

it should be awesome! you know, I havent seen anyone keep a large tank with all local fish.... I would love to see one around... please upload pictures if you end up goin thru with it!

Thats my major ambition. just lack the funds and space for a large tank.
