Come on guys.....the pink coloration is due to the translucence of the gill cover. This is a function of size and gill coloration not pigments on the surface of the fish.

i think it is i had a pond in CT no fish other than bass bullhead and p.seed and bluegills i kept baby bluegills for awhile and they all looked like the pic in question to every feature except the mouth size
Im sure we dont need new pictures, they are already green sunfish, not hybrids, bluegills, redears or pumpkinseed. I feel sorry for you man that you love to be right all time and proved us that your man at everything....yeah right.MultispeciesTamer;2667067; said:all right iam tired of argueing i got exams to study for, hopefully there will be new pics when i get on again in a few days, untill then
Remember redear v.s pumpkinseed thread? it turn out its only pumpkinseed. And you thought my green x pumpkinseed hybrid's either greengill or redear because you ID them based on colors but there are no redears in Minnesota and i dont think my hybrid are greengill because I dont see any bluegills traits, only green and pumpkinseed traits.
Sandtiger, Noto and teleost are experts on ID the natives, they're good and I trust them. (I'm Butch by way) I find your excuses' full of BS.
Young sunfish are often colorless and NOT SEXUALLY MATURE which often involved with the coloration.
to me i could settle on it being a greenieMN_Rebel;2667526; said:Im sure we dont need new pictures, they are already green sunfish, not hybrids, bluegills, redears or pumpkinseed. I feel sorry for you man that you love to be right all time and proved us that your man at everything....yeah right.

bluegill and green sunfish have very similar looking young and i confuse them alot
Heya Butch!
I'm no expert but I do spend some time in the water but as importantly I spend time with the books.

I'm certainly no expert either; I'm just trying to learn these guys myself.
Kafiltafisch: a few characters to look for in baby bluegill are the long, pointed pectoral fin (greens have a short, rounded pectoral), 8-10 "hollow" looking vertical bars on the sides (green sunfish have a variable pattern, but won't have the hollow bars) and a small mouth. Bluegill and greens may both have a dark spot in the dorsal fin, but usually bluegill will only have it if they are at least 2" long.
