Got My First Fish Tank In A Few Years All Set Up.

[t1tanrush]

Gave up fish keeping a couple years back when I became addicted to World of Warcraft (online game). However I just got it all set up. I'll let you guys guess exactly what they are . Tank is 55 gallons!
Gravel is cloudy, all this was purchased used for $80, but I got $750 worth of stuff so I can't complain, cleaned it out the best I could. For those who wish to play the ID game, the smallest of the fish is 5", the largest is 9". There are 7 total in there. All it needs now is a second penguin 330 to keep up with filtration for these fish..

Close!
All 7 individuals are Lepomis cyanellus.
Took one of the rascals out he isn't doing well, stress from capture, and there may be another I will remove.. Debating adding my small largemouth bass...

Of this I am aware, I was going to add him because he is more confident than the green sunfish, more or less to liven them up. Thankfully the feeder goldfish seem to be doing that fairly well! I catch so many largemouth holding on to one for a few months wasn't a huge deal, he was off to the fillet anyway
