Sunfish in the Aquarium: Keeping Pumpkinseeds, Bluegills & their Relatives

Well thanks for the response, I will definitely have to try and get me fry this spring. I have watched as the males protect their eggs on several occasions, while I've been fishing. I find their behavior very intriguing. Anyway I'm sure I be asking more questions as I go, thanks again. Trever

My pleasure, Trever; that behavior is fascinating, isn't it? I had some nests in an outdoor pond at the Bx Zoo, saw males drive off painted turtles and bullhead catfish...I sometimes dropped large crayfish nearby - they were attaked with great vigor, and always retreated. Hope you get started with them, pl keep me posted, Best, Frank
