150 Gallon Fish Tank

I have little interest in koi or goldfish. What edible fish works best in 150 -200 gallons besides tilapia? Bluegill?

Bullhead Catfish would be a good one. One full grown about 1-2 pounds is a perfect meal for 1 person. You can have about 20-30 of these guys.

I expect bluegill would also be appropriate to that size tank and they are available easily down here. (Florida fish Farm has them)

Bullhead would also probably be appropriate but I don't know where to get them here.

Keep in mind that the smaller tank will mean greater temperature fluctuations so a bit of winter protection for cold nights and summer daytime shade might be needed to moderate those in the smaller system.
