Would a 3 foot by 2 foot tank be a good home for 2 pumpkin seed sunfish and a LMB?

I wouldn't put a lmb in there, they're terrors towards other fish imo. Plus I think it would outgrow it eventually

Had a lmb for a little while and he just slaughtered anything that could fit in his mouth and would nip anything that couldn't. Those pumpkinseeds would be snacks lol

What's their growth rate (LMB) because my lone pumpkinseed is 6 or 7 inches long now and I'd get the LMB at 2-3 inches from my neighbors pond.

Fast from what I've heard, I wouldn't risk it, you'd loose your pumpkinseed as soon as your LMB catches up in size, I've seen 24" largemouth eat 20" largemouth while diving. They're fun to catch but are basically giant lazy vacuum cleaners with black holes for stomachs so... not the best fish to keep in captivity LOL. If you want a bass that would go with pumpkinseeds long term maybe look in to a rock bass.

Alright looks like my pumpkinseed with be getting a family member or two, picking up the tank today

The spawn of the year in my fishing hole are 2-3" now and last years spawn are 6-8" now. A 2 year old fish is 12" or larger.

Mind my experience is with small ponds - a few hundred square feet up to a couple of acres.
