What is this, and will the color stay like this as it gets bigger? Such great coloring for a lake fish.
Women thinks its a green, while I am leaning more towards a warmouth. Its in a 75gal with a pleco, bluegill and syno decorus right now. Any aggression issues to look out for? Its about 4"

Netted some Spotted sunfish (lepomis punctatus) in December along the Tamiami trail. Here they are going into my pond today. Here's one I caught on hook and line.

Jim do we have those longears here in Canada? Where did you get them? There amazing
Yes you have some longear sunfish but only in Ontario and they are endemic which it means it has a limited distribution. The longear sunfish in Ontario and the longear in Kansas are not same fish but completely separated species.
 
Here is my last one.I have no idea which species it is but I caught it down at the creek about a year ago so guess away lol.ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1401627767.293628.jpgImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1401627812.157383.jpg
