Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Shiners in 55 gal aquarium ?

There are lots of different types of Shiners besides GSH - Emerald Shiners come to mind first.

I think GSH would be real easy to keep in an aquarium, but hard to get to spawn. They need shallow water with aquatic or overhanging terrestrial plants to attach their eggs to. That's on top of whatever temp cycle & diurnal cycle requirements they may have.

I would use the standard 1" of fish per gallon of aquarium rule to determine stocking numbers.
