Will this work?

Will this work? A pumpkinseed, a redbreast, and a redeye bass in a 55 gallon. Maybe also another sunfish or is this good.

With those three you will probably be overstocked...with just two you will run in to aggression issues....I would just pick one.

I would just do a solo red eye bass but that's just me

Redbreast sunfish is quite aggressive sunfish that's for sure!

 

[fish042099]

Well the redbreast is 3" right now and gets along with similar sized largemouths.

An the worst part is I already have all those fish. So I can get rid of them.

How about just the bass and the redbreast?

 

[MN_Rebel]

.....let the fish decide which one is stay and which one is going. But the redbreast is ticking time bomb when he becomes a little mature.

Adult sunfish start feeling overcrowded in a 55g because of the poor depth front to back.

Your bass isn't ok in a 55 at all, and sunfish would start to fight because they feel too confined.

You generally don't want to ever do just two sunfish in anything, and in a 55g I wouldn't recommend more than one, other than for the very small species.
