There is a little pond/lake I like to go to with some of the most colorful fish I'm terrible with species but I have caught them all an for some reason the panfish out of here are popping with color I took a couple picks but the were no good to get the detail. I'm guessing the natural food in the lake is great an full of protein. I'm planning on doing a large aquarium with native species of sunfish an am definitely getting them from there.

Good luck on the aquarium. You should not have any problems finding some super fish for it here in the San Antonio area. Looking forward to seeing some pictures down the way. cheers

I have noticed a lot of Anglers who post here have aquariums. I have seen some neat set ups over the years. Good luck! thumb
