I have him in a 55 gallon for now... With LOTS of plants and many hiding places

Sooo my traps I set in the swamp yielded 5 crays and a green sunfish. Any advice on keeping the green guy? He's already eating frozen bloodworms....

They're fairly territorial. Mine bullied killifish and bluegills. Also, you can easily teach them to take pellets.
Other than that...nothing really special needed to care for them.

They are a hardy and large mouthed fish... some people say the bassy-est of the sunfish... pretty much all it takes is water and food... and they aren't that picky about either one... although they are known to like crayfish...

Really, just just treat them like hungry territorial fish. That one you have is pretty, BTW.
