Congrats on the new job. I picked the following info on bluegills up from Google. Pretty well sums it up and it appears that it is legal to keep them in an aqaurium.
"The bluegill is a hardy fish which adapts well to captivity as long as they have the oppurtunity to set up territory and space. They can be fairly aggressive (especially larger specimens) so it is best to keep a pair of adults by themselves or with other large centrachids. They look great with other sunfish particularly bass, but excersize caution for bass are specifically designed to eat bluegills and similar pan-fish. Other tankmates could include our native catfish, and just about any other hardy gamefish which is slightly the same size and can take care of itself. They aren't picky about water quality as long as it's well oxygenated, fresh, cool and clean. They accept any food as long as it's fairly meaty and nutritious. Worms and shrimp seem to be their favorite. Overall this fish presents little trouble in an aquarium and is a good starter fish for your native tank. Very adaptable and hardy."

I was wondering if I could keep 'gills in a 55 gallon aquarium that I have? If so, how many would you suggest? Will the setup I have for Chilids be sufficient? And can I fly fish in it??
Also, I was informed last nigh that my stepfather got me a job at the tire center he works at. So to all the Tandem swappers, the flies will be in the mail after my first check.
