silver perch

[RyanG45]

i got 175 silver perch for our dam and i kept 2 to see how they would go in my fish tank, they have been swimming happily for about 3 weeks now, i have a boat with a big hole in the side and one stays in there all the time and the other stays near the filter where there is a current from the filter. i dont no if i need to get more shelter for the 2 of them or wont they live together and are they very territorial, also what kind of food do they eat and if i need any weeds in the tank. the tank is a 3 foot long and 1 and a half foot high for 2 perch about 40ml long.

Have they eaten anything yet ?

Probably only eat frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp at 40 mm.

They will be fine together. Dont need plants.
