Just an inquiry - I recently aquired a 55 gallon aquarium, and am toying with the idea of putting a few gamefish in it - crappies, a bullhead, maybe a perch or 2. I checked with the DNR and was told it is legal, as long as I purchase the fish from a dealer licensed by the DNR, and the aquarium fish WOULD count towards my possesion limit.
Aquarium fish & plants cannot be legally re-introduced back into a body of water. Mussels are great at keeping a tank clean, but they have to be store-bought unless you have a special harvest permit. I bought two Common Muckets last year and they do a pretty good job of keeping the sand clean.
the legality is technically you have to have a child under the age of 16 transport the fish for you and the fish each have to be under 10". A general rule for fih in an aquarium is 1 inch per gallon, sunfish are pretty messy fish also, so make sure you have a good filter. I had an 8 1/2" gill for a couple months but he got ICK and died.
We found the fish adjacent to shallow rock piles(14') in 20'-28' of water. Our best fishing hours of the day were ~5:30 -twilight in the evenings and until ~ 10:30 in the mornings. Although those two time periods were prime time, fish bit all day. For us, the bite was very light and we probably missed or lost as many fish as we caught.
There was a pretty good thread going about a month ago about native fish in aquariums. I'd try doing a search for native fish or native aquariums and see what you can find for older topics. I know there was a lot of good info in those threads. Sounds like a lot of fun guys. I've just got to find room for a tank
It's just an Icon and how the software interprets the mark the sonar has detected. There is no actual way to determine if the fish is even moving let alone the direction of travel. The mark "icon" may not even a be a fish.
flyingfish: Please read page 27 of the 2002 fishing regulations. Adults are not allowed to transport live fish home to an aquarium. Only a child 16 or younger can. The only way an adult can transport live fish is if they are purchased from a dealer and you have the necessary documents. Dino
I keep mine in the styrofoam minnow bucket inserts that go into the 5 gal pails.The pails go into the garage, and because I have a well with a water filter system,I use the excess water from the filter/tank to change the water out for the minnows.This water is almost pure filtered water.The water gets changed daily,if possible.I will use an aerator with a stone if I need to, for long term ...
I use a $20 cooler, a $10 dual aquarium aerator with XL aerator stones as big as Oreos, a $5 50w aquarium heater hooked into a $5 electric timer that runs for 30 minutes every 6 hours. Keeps the water about 40-45 degrees in an insulated, unheated garage.
Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish. Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat. Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes.
