So I just got a 1 inch bluegill from my lfs. I have a friend there and sometimes they get in bluegill with their feeders so she kept it for me until I got a tank ready for him. I put him in my 55 gal tank but hes all alone in there. She also told me she gets in bullheads so im looking foward to getting one or two of those. I do think that the ?bluegill? is actually a green sunfish. But its too small to really figure out. If I can get a clean shot of it ill post it to see what people think.

Good luck with the natives. You should be able to tell what species of sunfish it is at that size; just post a pic of it. You should look into getting a school of bluegill or maybe a smallmouth bass if you plan on upgrading.
I would love to get a SMB as theyre quite common in the lake my mother lives on...I planned on getting large throwing minnow net and going out to see if i can catch any fingerlings out in her lake with it. IMO I would love to get a chain pickerel.
Can't wait for the snapshot! If you want bullhead in that tank, you should only put one in there. Bullhead don't get huge, but two in a 55 will be too much.

Yea I thought he was a green after I took some time to look at him, he looks more elongated. I would love to get a smb though but i think ill just stick to sunfish and if i get lucky, a bullhead.
