Here is my longear sunfish, great little fish and without a doubt probably the most beautiful fish I own. He eats like a horse and was mailed to me from Ohio (cannot collect my own in NY, listed as threatened). He even eats pellets, among other things. The pictures DO NOT do this fish justice.

Here is my little rockbass I collected a couple months back. He has been doing great but still won't eat dry foods, only live or frozen. I have been feeding him some frozen food or another several times a day, sometimes six. This fish is a lot like an oscar in terms of personality. Not a lot of pictures of him, he hides in that red plant there a lot.

Here is the pumpkinseed, I have had him for almost a year, he will eat flakes but not pellets yet. He is also very oscar-like and follows me around the tank. It's actually pretty hard to take a pic of him because whenever I am near the tank he looks directly at me. He is somewhat aggresive towards the catfish but otherwise a great fish.

Here is a photo of him when I caught him in August 2005

Nice fish sandtiger it looks like you still have along way to go still to meet your goal.:)

Well we can add another one to the list, I picked up a green sunfish. That brings me to five sunfish species.
 
Very nice Sunny setup!
 
The pumpkinseed is in a 75g with the new green sunfish. The rockbass and longear are i na 29g. The rockbass is only in there for grow-out.
 
I think Longears are one of the most appealing of n.a.n.f. and they would make a great addition to the hobbyist way of life. I currently have six, and I’m working on breeding a pair in a 75 G
