Do you have pumpkinseed sunfish in Mass? I have heard they are more aggressive than most cichlids and the coloration is awesome.

Can anybody give me some advice as to what else (besides bluegills)would be a good native to keep in a tank,i live near a place that sells natives to the city i live in for our lakes and ponds,so i have a pretty good selection.I just want to know wich fish can survive the best in a home aquarium,thanks :woot:


perch
 
What do you mean by pumpkinseed? In Alabama we called this fish a pumpkinseed but most people call them a longeared sunfish. This is a fish I kept and they totally kick ass. They max out at about 6" and are extremly colorful as you can see. Oh and did I mention that they are flat out crazy aggressive? I used this fish to cycle a tank that I was going to put my aggresive 8" Serrasalmus Maculatus in. Well when I added the piranha to the tank this sunfish who was only half the piranhas size kicked his ass!
