Nice fish! Sunfish are one of my favorite native fish, enjoy keeping it!!!

Sunnies are awsome.

Are longears aggresive towards their own kind? My juvenile is in a tank of its own and it's always attacking it's own reflection.

Sunnies rock, but my heart will always be with pikes/pickerels.

Sorry, I missed this. No, they don't seem to be aggressive with each other at all so far. I have 9 right now and they tend to school a lot. Things may change as they get old and grumpy though

I had some that i cought at 3/4" now they are about 1.5"- 2" and i had one kill another, they hang out around the same clump of plants and one day one of them had his fins and one eye all torn up, it died a few days later.

i had one pair of sunnies attack each other and another few that schooled with each other so im not sure...

It's a 125 with a 55 planted refugium. See this thread for my tank.
