My pickerel eat minnows and cut up frozen fish. They are like opposites of catfish they prefer smaller food they won't be able to swallow a wide fish like sunfish.

Just throw a few dollars in the lake that you caught them in.
Plan has changed to warmouth, pumpkinseed, dollar sunfish, orange spotted sunfish, and grass pickerel. Problem is I want males for the color but is it cruel to not allow them to have females? Will they fight too much with females present? Can I do a male and female of each species. I'm not trying to breed them but I'll be keeping them for life, and it seems mean and cruel to me to not allow them acesss to ladies lol.
Sunfish get after each other a little but nothing to crazy in my experience. Pickerel never fight each other just have to worry about them eating each other. especially when they are small and growing. I have several small grass pickerel and have lost a few to being eaten by another not much bigger then itself. Some for whatever reason grow a lot faster then others. Very cool fish though. I've had no luck at all getting them to eat anything other then live feeder fish.
