I'd like to stock my new 29 gallon aquarium with a good mix of Enneacanthus species sunfish. I know I can purchase Blue Spotted and Banded Sunfish from Sachs Aquaculture but they are very expensive. I also know that ZimmermansFish.com currently has Blue Spotted for a very good price but I can't find affordable Black Banded or Banded anywhere... Does anyone know where I can purchase these fish?

Also, out of curiosity does anyone have any good suggestions on any other fish that would be compatible with the Enneacanthus species in a community tank?

Thanks!
 
I currently have the following species in with my bluespotteds, with no problems:

Golden shiners
Coastal shiners
sailfin shiner
sailfin molly
golden topminnow
seminole killifish
swamp darter
blackbanded darter
flagfish
lake chubsucker
mosquitofish
least killifish
pirate perch

There are several people on the Nanfa forum that have had or do have Blackbanded Sunfish.... but because theyre becoming rare in their native range they are very hard to find (in some states I believe they are considered endangered). I would log in as a guest and post that that I would like to find some Blackbandeds for sale, it may take a few days to get an answer (some members only check in once a week) but sooner or later you will.
 
Try aquabid (thats were i got mine from )if u are a member there try to PM drsmith I got them from him. Allso i kepp'em with mudminnows and golden topminnows
