Fish ID?

[Killergar]

This fish was mixed in with my feeders, Assume its a native fish, can somebody tell me what kind of fish it is. Thanks..

Looks like a bluegill.

 

[Killergar]

How big can they get? I'll thinking bout keeping it.

 

[toxicfish]

it looks like some sort of sunfish. Based on that, it will get about 10"

 

[sandtiger]

Looks like a bluegill to me, grow to about 10-12".

Might be a redear, can't tell from the pic, both can get to 16" but around 10 is much more common

Can't be certain with the pics and age but it's a sunfish and WILL NOT GET 10" in a typical aquarium. Assuming it's a Bluegill, I would expect it to get around 6".

bro that's nut's you got a some what native fish in feeder's... were did you get it?.

If it's a blueGill they only get about 6 1/2'' or 7 '' in the river's ... unless farm raised then larger .. better food or steriod's I guess...

if you have a river or stream near buy take a sample to test P.H.. so you can replacate it in a tank for that guy .. most likely it's soft to neutral..

Watch out with tank mate's not to sure how aggresive it is or is'nt...

what ever it is cool find and good luck ....

I got it at the LFS I started working at. We get all kind of stuff mixed in with feeders, sometimes water beedles, catfish.. and stuff like that..

if it is a bluegill they can be very agressive
