Rock bass?

Anyone here keep any rock bass? How are they on aggression, and getting along with bluegills?

I have a rock bass with longear sunfish,green sunfish ,black crappie,carp,grass pickerel and bullhead. He keeps to pretty much keeps himself in his own corner. But he does not like the crappie at all. But will tolerate everyone else. Occasionally he chases the sunfish away but not very often.

I have one with other sunfish (bluegills, pseeds, crappie). He actually gets along with everybody believe it or not. He used to own a side of the tank until I added a couple more fish and now he pretty well gets along with all of them. He will chase one or two of them occasionally, but gets along with them great!

Kinda stinks that it seems to be so hard to find stores that sell natives like rock bass, unfortunate that they aren't native to Texas. Nice looking fish that i'd consider docile.

they are on the small end for bass, which is the appeal to me, if someone wants to catch one and send it to me (unless it's illegal) i'd be more than happy
