He picks on my blue gill in my 30g and want to move him to my 55+ with my bass. He was in a 10g with another sunfish type fish but he was the punk (lol) so I moved him to the 30 and gave the other fish away. Now hes the bully in the 30g. Does he/she need a mate or what? I like the fish, and would rather keep him/her over the BG, but killing my BG is a no no, and being killed by my bass is a no no too.
What to do?

Some kind of sunfish. I found a few green sunfish mixed with the feeders at an LFS and gave them to my bro. They are noe a pair and ready to spawn.

I knew it was some sort of sunfish :smack: :ROFL:
kidding asside....is it a rock bass? its pretty agressive, but not compared to bass bass
I just dont want carnage in the tank
 
that is a green sunfish, they might actually be fine because they are both semi-aggresive and if it is just two fish it should be fine

BG?
The bass will probably end up killing it. But maybe not. It depends on aquarium setup and feeding.

BG= Blue gill
Thanks for the reply. Right now the Green sunfish is a tad bigger than the bass. Means nothing in the long run I guess

Thanks to you too. I have 3 bass. Maybe I shouldnt chance it. Might be ok now, but later it could be problems
 
It's a green sunfish, they are often aggresive. You can try it with bass but it may push them around as well.
