Nice fish! Nice thing about them is when they get too big for the aquarium they CAN br eleased back into the originating water
nice setup and your fish look healthy. i have kept many sunfish in the past. i dont think you have longear sunfish rather a mix of pumpkinseed and redbreasted sunfish. the bluegill looks awesome. i always wanted a small school of crappie. i had a florida green sunfish also for a while, he was very tough but always calm... the peacemaker in the tank. male sunfish are very territorial and will fight a lot so try to monitor it if you see any of those issues. they look great, keep up the good work!
Good to hear. I don't know how likely it is, but any possibility at all is too much when it comes to needlessly killing off a local population of fish.
Nice sunnies, Caity and Doo! I think Jaysen is right, your brighter sunnies are Pumpkinseeds. The short opercular lobe and 'Indian corn' pattern are distinctive.
Only if it's a private pond, isolated from all other waters. It is illegal in most US states to return captive fish to public waters. But you can eat them when they get too big! Mmm, fried sunfish....
