I used to keep a 75g fresh tank with natural life from the lakes near me. Minnows, northern pike, perch, crayfish, snails, tadpoles, tiger salamanders, a turtle, aswell as aquatic milfoil and water lilies. Let everything go in the late summer, not to mention pike and perch growth rates bring the panther grouper to shame!

No, unfortunately I havnt had time to set it up in the spring the last 3 years (university eating up too much of my free time). All I did was go to the lake 20mins from my house with a drift net. Then some evening after dark when it was spitting out the ground is COVERED in different amphibians near the creeks about 5min walk from my house so I grab a few. Did that every spring since I was like 10 years old.

Where are you from in Canada? I live in Utah now, but I grew up in and lived in Toronto until I was 28.
Your statement about your freshwater tank adventures reminds me of the lake we used to trailer camp on as a kid. ( Pigeon Lake, just outside of Bobcaygeon in Ontario. )
