I traded for a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. My thought is to use it to hold 2-3 dozen goldfish. I set it up so our hill spring constantly fills the tank with 56 degree water. I put a wire cover over the top to keep the critters out, cut a overflow hole 4" below the rim and put mesh over it as well. I took out the drain plug and installed a ball valve so once a week I could drain out the bottom foot or so of water from the tank. Would I be able to keep suckers or bullheads as well in this set up? or is that asking to much with out aeration?

bull heads for sure suckers might live for a bit but they are more finnicky. we had a very similar setup for years. that spring is a lot more areated than what you think. we used a steel stock tank

suckers and chubs should do ok in the colder water, bullheads will kill them though so dont mix them

"Why can't we all just get along?" Thanks for the tip Dave, sounds like suckers and chubs ( if I can cast net them) will be sharing the tank with my goldfish.
