Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have searched the web trying to ID this fish, and thought I was decent at getting info, but this guy I can not ID. Please help me.
I live in Northern California, and took this guy from a wild pond. I started out with 3 of them in a 100 gallon aquarium, but the larger one basically killed the smallest one - so I relocated the big one, and wound up keeping the middle size one - he's about 5-inches long. He's furocuios. He eats crickets, smaller fish (won't mess with the cats or minnow though), and eats a LARGE nightcrawler everyday. He is not getting fat. He hides out 98% of the time in the rock cover I have provided. He is VERY quick.
My friends say he is NOT a bluegill, due to the larger mouth and hinged jaw. He looks like a Bluegil to me?
Does anybody know what he is?
I don't know what species he is, but I really like him - he's a Great pet!
Thanks,
Mitch
