I recently rescued a pumpkinseed sunfish from my friend, who was planning on using him as live bait but told me I could have him as it was the last survivor of his live bait. Anyways, he looks extremely malnourished and he's acting aggressive. (He went after my Otos when I put him in the 10 gallon with them). I have a couple questions....
1. What should I be feeding him?
2. Will he eat plants?
3. Will he be fine with a school of x-ray tetras in a planted 37?
4. What is the ideal temp for him?
5. Anything else I need to know?
I would release him, but he appears to be VERY weak, and I don't want to risk introducing disease into my local ponds. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
