Not one hundo percent sure what type of sunfish it is, was just labeled as "bluegill" for $2.00.

He is kind of a jerk and angry swims everywhere chasing everyone.

Might have to regime, but it would be cool to know specifically what type he is. My pictures are junk, I know. I will try to get better ones tomorrow.

that's not a bluegill and judging from the aggressiveness I'm going to say green sunfish. Good luck.

Thank ya! I was thinking a pumpkinseed but that's just from light internet digging.

ehhhhh looks more green sunnie to me judging by what I believe to be a white strip across his dorsal fin, but he/she is also stressed and washed out, so wait until it colors up a bit more. My p-seeds wash out sometimes but usually don't look like that.

Definitely a green sunfish. Keep him, they are fun fish.

yeah def a green black spot on adipose fin, large mouth, blue/green face markings. fun fish high aggression. better as a solo fish unless very large aquarium as even for sunfish greens have an attitude. but give him time and he will be attacking the glass begging for food.

Hybrid sunfish,bluegill x green sunfish to be exact,definitely not a pure green sunfish,and I've bred all three,they are very hardy and will quickly learn to beg for food.

Haha ohhhh yes, we have hit the beg stage. He can't seem to get enough bloodworms or cichlid pellets...Doesn't quite take to the dried krill LOL.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
All of you!

U should be able to get him to jump thru a hoop:first put the hoop in for a few minutes everyday or so,reward him when he swims thru,start gradually holding the hoop higher and higher ,so eventually the hoop is entirely out of water,this is one of my favorite tricks.
