Great pics. Wondering too how they all get along? I have a small pumpkinseed that I caught this past summer. Tried to keep another pumpkinseed with it but it didn't work. This sunfish is evil.

lol they get along pretty good! the two pumpkinseeds and the bluegill have all been in the tank together since january 09, and the redbreast since september 09. they've all pretty much established their own territories and generally stay there all the time. sometimes if one fish gets too close the other one will snap at it and it will swim away. there are very few actual fights. never any damage.

Okay thanks I didnt think they would. I keep Florida dollar suns outside but indoors in a tank you actually see them lol other than feeding time.

I hope they breed this spring due to cold spell we had and if so will bring fry in and keep pair in a tank. Cant beat a natural looking tank like yours to enjoy them.
