Anybody keep Pumpkinseed and Goldfish together?

sight breaks are important in a sunfish tank arrange your plants and driftwood with that in mind you could easily keep 4 in the maybe even 6-7 depending on filter and water changes.

That's good to know. I guess they don't get much bigger than about 5 1/2 inches so I can maybe get a small group of them.

Checkout some of the fish for sale at "jonahs aquarium",and most sunfish do well with goldfish,u might also want to add yellowperch and adult golden weather loaches.

I will, thank you. I thought about yellow perch as well. I will google the weather loaches.

Are there any other fish that would work with what has already been suggested here? Since I am working with only 125 gallons I will probably end up with about 4 fish so they all have plenty of their own space in the pond. So far I really like the look of the longear sunfish and the yellow perch.

You think I'd ever see it? Aren't they bottom dwellers?

Yeah u might not see it except at feeding,if u want a fish u can see better go with some yellow lab or other cichlids during the warmer months.

Cichlids are beautiful but I think I'm going to stick to fish that can survive the winter in the pond.

I actually just started looking at maybe some Rudd. Although I read that they like to be in groups of 3 or 4. I looked at Tench as well but I don't think I'd see them much.

I dunno that I'd do the pumpkin seeds and goldies in only 125g. Not sure you'd be able to keep enough of each to keep them comfortable.
