I was going to get another bass since one died, and I was wondering what sunfish I should get.

Here is the list:

Golden Redbreast Sunfish, Lepomis auritus,
Lepomis megalotis megalotis, Central Longear Sunfish
Lepomis gibbosus, Pumpkinseed Sunfish
Lepomis auritus, Redbreast Sunfish
Lepomis cyanellus, Green Sunfish

or I could get instead of a sunfish:

Ameiurus platycephalus, Flat Bullhead
Ameiurus nebulosus,
Florida Brown Bullhead
Nocomis leptocephalus, Bluehead Chub
Nocomis biguttatus, Hornyhead Chub
Semotilus atromaculatus,
Creek Chub

Cottus bairdi, Mottled Sculpin (for the 20)

Temp: 68-82

PH: around 7

I have a longear that is somewhat agressive, but not to the point of killing a fish. I also have a brown bullhead.

I can only get one unless it is a chub.
 
In the previous post you said that your water is kept at about 70dg, because of that (and its disposition and coloration) I would go with a Pumpkinseed sunny.
 
what size is your tank? i think that any one of the sunfish would be a great addition. i have some pumpkin seeds and some coppernose bluegill.5.JPG

There is a brown bullhead, and several other blugill in there as well he was in the other half of the tank lol. I think that the pumpkin seeds and gar were the only ones up for a picture lol.
