Ive actually put together a native tank when I was a kid, it was nice. Just tough to stock. I had sticklebacks and small minnows of various unidentifiable types. It was cool when the sticklebacks got mating colors on. I had a decnt water flow in the tank to simulate a crick.

It is tough to find a good spot to catch them, and tougher yet to find the time to do it. I went lazy and set up a tropical.
