It should eat in a day or so. My largest is just shy of 6", and he ate the day after he was caught. My smaller one is 5" and ate the same day he was caught. I made the mistake of hand feeding them. Now the big one "pops" the lid or bashes the heater to get my attention (he knows I hate that).
Give it some time, a week, and it will be begging for food. Greens are very adaptable, If not the most adaptable sunfish.its getting braver still. if i dont make sudden movement i can stand right in frond of the tank and it wis act normal. still hasnt eaten yet but im not to worried
