Green Sunfish are great aquarium fish.
Where are you located?
I might be able to tell you the best 'game fish' to collect in your area.
If there are any green sunfish, try them.
Hardy and eat like pigs

Try to catch yourself some sunfish.
Good luck.
What kind of tank do you want to put them in?
A 55 or 75 gallon would be okay for sunfish.

Check your local fish and game laws, in many states its against the law to keep gamefish without a permit. I know here in Vermont is a $1000 fine PER fish if you get caught.

How would they ever find out???? My dad once kept a bunch of baby bluegill, he said they looked great and never had any problems with them.
Some people do get caught. In all reality all it would take is someone reporting this thread to the Fish and Wildlife office in his state and he could have someone knockin on his door. Personally I don't feel that threads about keeping native game species are a very smart idea and probably shouldn't be allowed to be posted on here. Its kinda like saying you smoke pot and haven't gotten caught yet, but a lot of people have.
Threads which encourage someone to violate their state laws are in fact illegal, and removed. Keeping game fish is not universally illegal, so advising someone to verify the laws for their location and to abide by them is warranted.
Many game fish are unsuitable for an aquarium, based on size, aggression, and hardiness. Check http://www.nanfa.org/ for more information on appropriate species and setups.
