Having said all these, here are my questions:
1. What kind of native fish do you recommend?
Local species of sunfish and catfish
2. For a given species, what are its tank size, food, and
community requirements (does it co-exist with other
fish species or does it have to be a single-species tank)?
50 gallons is probably the minimum if you are going to keep them for a
year or more. 20 gallons if you stick to dwarf sunfish and madtoms.
3. What are it's eye-catching attributes that would make
them interesting to people?
Colorful (sunfish) and/or interesting shape and habits (catfish) and both
are pretty adaptable to conditions and will eat and thrive on trout chow.
