<p>Hi Jon,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very interesting! I'm looking forward to hearing more about the Sac perch. I'm up in Reno and looking for some fish that might do well in my confusing weather conditions. This years batch of cichlids are already in the tank but I'm feeling like they are not going to do so well with Reno's cold nights and often hot summer days. Sac perch are in Pyramid Lake though, so maybe these are the right fish for us.</p>

Hi Jason, nice speaking to you this morning. I have Sac Perch fry! It will be a couple of months before they are big enough to ship, so any who want some should let me know. I'm excited.

No worries, Paul. Good idea about the bait shop. Crawdads are also very easy to catch, just get a trap and soak it overnight in your local pond or creek. Crawdads are territorial, and you'll need a lot of area to raise any, or so I'm told.<br />
<br />
However, Redclaw Crawdads are quite gregarious, and fine to pack shoulder to shoulder if you give them some pipe condos for solitude. They are easy to feed, being primarily vegetarian, and I raise mine under tilapia. They cohabit well, but definitely…

<p>I don't want to cut anyone out of a sale, but Tyler perhaps you have a local option for crawdads--have you checked your local bait shop? Mine here always has crawdads for sale.</p>

George, I like circular tanks better for all fish, because a little swirl keeps it clean. Sac perch should be breeding soon, exciting. Hope I can supply you when youre ready. Perch will do fine with any fish the same size, but if they can fit a tankmate in their mouth, they probably will. I have mine sharing water with redears and sunfish, at least until I get a brooding tank ready.<br />

Chewy, I got crappie as incidentals along with some bluegill I ordered (as well as some green sunfish, jumbo minnows, and big tadpoles). Yesterday I had a three-way power splitter short out and lost power to my pumps for about 24 hrs, without knowing it. The 1000 gallon tank was overstocked to say the least, as I am finishing my new greenhouse. Anyway, I lost most of my bluegills (about 1500), and most of my minnows (which have been steadily looking worse anyway, I think from old age) but oddly not a single crappie died, or green sunfish. That makes crappie a tough fish, and that's a big deal me. I'm so angry at myself for allowing such a massive die-off of bluegill. The females were all gravid, and the males were showing their breeding colors. I know better, and the whole incident is having me rethink my safety net and backup. If I just had some bubblers on batteries it would have been fine. The water was very clean and clear, no ammonia issue, which must mean they died of low oxygen, whereas the crappie were fine. Good to know. Expensive to learn.
