Default The great social experiment

heres a crazy tank story
A friend of our family has a house on bay and a 15 gallon tank. He fills the tank with bay water straps a HOB on it and buts in baby game fish(including a small fluke), bait fish, crabs, and a eel them wtches how they socialize and labels it the great social experiment...it fails as mostly everything dies. Then his neighbors move and the people who but the house get a 100+gallon tank with filters, air pump, etc. and are going to CHUCK IT so my friend offers to buy it and gets it for free and after resupporting his deck and get 3 guys on it he moves it to a shadey spot on his deck then he gets the whole thing setup with bay water(and filters it clean) then begins to add whatever he catches. Last time i saw it he had about
(6) 4"-8" bluefish
(5) 7"-14" weakfish
a half liter container of 1.5" live baitfish
(2) 6" flounders
(1) 5" oyster toadfish/rockfish(the coolest thing)
He's also considering a small northern puffer, a eel, and maybe some crabs

Right now the tank is mearly very high end brackish(it seamed better to post it in SW because they are SW fish) and he's thinking of switching it to full marine conditions and getting tropical marine fish or local marine fish. i think it is a interesting experiment
