It is a red-spotted sunfish, very active. I have several and they all eat out of my hand underwater. Very cool fish. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey Y'all, I was out collecting shrimp to feed to my native sunfish and a couple had eggs so I put them in my small crawfish tank and they started hatching and soon they were everywhere. Not sure what to feed them. I'm assuming they're filtering out food from the water because you can see food...

that should be fine, what type of minnows are they?

Nice fish! When I look down at my catfish swimming they remind me of little sharks patrolling around haha.

I know! It's crazy to think you can catch a longear like that in a ditch down here. But hey there's nothing wrong with having another tank, I know what you mean though I'm going build a stand for a 20gal long this weekend for my little brother. We couldn't find anything around the house strong...

It's good to see others interested in natives! I have been keeping natives for years mostly sunfish and catfish. I currently have 1 longear sunfish, 1 largemouth bass, 1 red spotted sunfish, 1 black crappie , 2 warmouth, a bluegill, 2 green sunfish, a yellow bullhead and another catfish still...

2-3lbs that must be some sort of world record haha, mot state records are not even a pound, they don't get very big in the wild

That is 100% green sunfish

They will and can eat anything they fit into their mouths so feeding them isn't hard. Just make sure to have a good filtration system and clean the tank regularly

Ok then I will keep going, I wanted to make sure before I had to do it all over again. Thank you.

Hey y'all I was planning on resealing an old 55 gallon aquarium I got for free today. I was planning on doing it in my garage with some fans blowing but it is starting to rain a little. Is it not a good idea to reseal the tank with it raining outside, will the moisture mess with the seal? Thanks...

Green sunfish will have a slight white edge on their fins as well and it will show on them as little as an inch. But hybrids are always interesting themselves in an aquarium. If you want him to become more personable stop feeding him minnows for awhile and offer him any type of worms when you...

This is a male green sunfish, I catch them all the time in my crawfish traps

Well that first picture is a hybrid between a pumpkinseed and a green sunfish. But that second picture is a true green sunfish

No bantam's are plain like that. Hmm ok so he has the color of that pumpkinseed? He might just be a hybrid of some sort is all I can think.
