hi guys, i posted awhile back about some sunfish that i recently purchased. im still unsure of what kind of sunfish these are but now that they are about a few weeks acclimated already, i'd want to share some pics with you guys again and hopefully you guys can id them for me.. these guys were sold to me as high grade pumpkinseed sunfish. well ive heard of other stuff like it might be hybrids or these are longears but i dunno yet.. they are all about 3.5 to 4 inches already. thanks everyone!

Yes, same answer as before - who knows what they are doing with them over there - part pumpkinseed, and who knows what else.

Haha thanks again... Im just curious with their size actually.. Coz if they are long eared, they wont grow as much. But if they are pumpkinseeds,They will grow significantly bigger.. I guess time will tell..
 
Can't help you with the ID but they are beautiful fish...nice pick up!!
 
they are NOT one or the other, they are most likely hybrids, and I would estimate size to be about 7 inches for large ones.
 
These mostly look like longears when it comes to the colors, pumpkinseeds when it comes to the ear length and probably the size of a pumpkinseed, so like I said earlier, between a pumpkinseed and longear, not sure how much of one fish is in the other but I would say a hybrid between the two.
