I thought I had a green sunfish until he busted out with red on his gill flap. Now I've been looking on google at pics of both, and he looks mostly like a green, except for the dang red on the gill. It's a very pale, orange-ish crescent, as if only partially presenting. His face and fins are far more like a green, so could it be a 1/4 hybrid from a fertile hybrid parent and a green? Just grabbing straws. I'll try to get a pic, though he is washed out since going to the bare-bottom tank.

Greens do have a little red on the gill flap, hes full green. Redears don't tend to breed with other species any way.
 
Oh. Thanks so much! Happy Pishkeeping.

Yeah. Pish. As in the 'Kill Your Pish' thread. I've been using it for months now around the house. Good word to replace other words better left unsaid. Oh, pish! :)
