Sandtiger is correct here as far as the relatives of sunfish and cichlids. Cichlids are deried from salt water fish and their closest relatives are the wrasses. Sunfishes and basses have a totally different evolutionary path and are not at all related to cichlids, other than being bony fishes. They just happen to have evolved to be morphologically similar and inhabit some of the same habitats. This is similar to the way the bowfin and snakehead evolved.
