Sunfish tank

[Tropicalfish34]

Hey guys once all of are fish dye or I move out im going to turn our 75 into a sunfish and bullhead tank.
Fauna
2 green sunfish, 1 blue gill, 1 pumkinseed sunfish, 2 lonear sunfish, 1 black crapie, and a yellow belled bullhead

Flora
2 black mangroves, 4 java lance ferns, 2 amazon swords, 1 mangrove leather fern, 4 dwarf lilies, and about 20 moneywort stems.

Is the tank to small?

Oops ment die.

Ok just found out that green sunfish are illegal in Florida except when you have a permit and even then your only allowed to have them for research and public viewing.

I would say far too many fish for a 75. Yellow bullhead can potentially get to 18". Longear, bluegilll and pumpkinseed can get pretty aggressive. Crappie are more shy and probably won't eat well with those tankmates. Best to rethink your stocking list unless this is a growout tank.

Yep will be way overstocked.

Ok I want to know which I should go with crappie or sunfish and how many?

 

[Tropicalfish34]

Probably getting a larger tank to put in the sunfish from the original stock list. As for c the 75 it wil probably get 1 black crappie female, and two white crappie male.

I would drop the crapie (get too big), and go with 4 long ears and the Bullhead. Yes, bullhead can get to be 18", and people can grow to 7', it doesn't mean it is going to happen. I know in MA, bullhead very rarely get more than 10". Even if it does get to 18' it is going to take a long time to get there, and you can re-evaluate if you need a bigger tank then.

Ok do you think this tank would work.
1 longear sunfish
1 yellow bellied bullhead
1 orange spotted sunfish
1 blue spotted sunfish

Would it work.

The bluespotted would get punked by the other sunfish, and the bullhead when big enough will probably eat it. Blue spotteds only get to just under 4 inches.
