we fished them out of a pond in north VA.

Sure looks like a bluegill.

 

[gobucks1]

so theyre bluegill?

can i get a link to their specs please?

so far all they'll eat is mosquito larvae. what else should i try?

 

[Fishermoe14]

they should gobble up earth worms really good... i think eventually you can even get them on pellets..

 

[gobucks1]

thanks, Moe, hadnt thought of that.

these guys get pretty aggressive, right?
so if i were to acclimate them over about a month to tropical temperatures, they could maybe live with my sme-size juvi afro cichlids?

those are definetly baby bluegill. i have one. if you want to feed it without having to buy or look for worms, put them with fish that eat flakes. the bluegill will see that the flakes are good to eat and start eating them. thats how i got mine to start eating!
