I'm helping a buddy with a 125 gallon "Jersey Tank". It's got a nice variety of Jersey caught panfish in there that all readily accept pellets, as well as frozen food, live earthworms, and rosie minnows. It will take them a bit to adjust, but for the most part they're doing great. We've been hoping to catch a small enough Pike or Pickerel to give that a shot, but no luck yet.
The USGS site has been pretty helpful in that it gives you the pH and other water qualities of the body of water in which the fish are caught. Lock that in and there should be no problem with them doing well in the aquarium.
