Agree, and I would add... redbreasts can be rather large and tough... and their mouths are not small...!!!Rule of thumb here is 'if a fish can fit into another fish's mouth, it will probably end up there.' Spotfins can get rather large, for shiners. I suppose if you had a school of large ones and fed the sunfish enough they may leave them alone...just don't get too attached to the spotfins.

They are all as big as they are going to get I think. In my part of the Potomac River, I have never seen or caught these species any larger than they are now. I do not know why, but that is about max for the area.
Although, I have to say, the Redbreast was beating up on my little Longear while they were in the 55G, I have been watching them in the 65, and he chases him for a second, but that is it... so far.
thank you for the responses.
