Green Sunfish has a large mouth(reaching to or past their eye) wavy blue lines near the mouth, adults have a black spot on their 2nd dorsal fin and their 2nd dorsal and caudal fins will have a white or yellow edge on them. Pumpkinseeds have usually orange spots with wavy blue lines and redspot near the earflap and a smaller mouth. If your sunfish are new it will take a little while for them to acclimate. Sunfish take a little cooler water than Oscars (especially Pumpkinseeds) if you redecorate your tank (move stuff around) and have hiding places the Sunfish will end up acclimating and if its a male hold its own just fine against your Oscar (especially if its a Pumpkinseed or Green Sunfish) if the tanks big enough. How long has the Sunnie been in the tank? How big is your tank, how much tank decorations do you have and what are your temps? You could also add some dither fish if your tank is big enough.regimezx;4144756;4144756 said:wat are the differences between them? also my sunfish is getting bullied by my oscar waht can i do?? both same size will it ever fight the oscar back or are they peaceful the oscar never fights just chases once

Dont worry Rebel Im a chillin, I just check back once a day to see if he got the message.....I had two greens I really loved (and Ive owned Oscars in the past) so I dont want him to get frustrated and use the Green for Catfish bait, or try to keep a green and a Oscar together in a 20g aquarium. Thanks Joe.MN_Rebel;4155571;4155571 said:chill out warmouth, just let it some time
