Hello friends. Below are pictures of my 225gl US Native aquarium. The 225 is my biggest tank and it keeps large adult fish. These are fish I caught. I'm happy with my current stock, it's a nice mix of fish, colors, and unique behaviors. The process of collecting is fascinating to me, catching a rare fish is just as much exciting as catching a trophy fish. I love fishing new systems and seeing different pigmentations. I'm always looking for a new adventure and hunting down those exceptional fish. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I am jealous of that! Always wanted a big tank with native fish in it. You nailed it.

Fitz you have one AWESOME tank! I can only imagine seeing native fish everyday swimming within inches of me. Keep those aquarium post coming. As always thanks for sharing your aquarium with us.

This particular Rio was caught October 2015 at 1" with a dip net in the Colorado River by Austin Airport. Its about 6" 2 years later. It started in my 175 but got too big for his tankmates (Shiners, Log Perch, baby Sunfish, Stonerollers, Chubs, Killifish) and would eat them.
