Do you ever have mud sunfish in stock? Are they competitive enough for a sunfish community?

I have had a single mud sunfish on two different occasions. They did ok in a tank but were very shy and hid all the time. I think they would not compete well in a community setting with larger sunfish. They would probably go best with other not so territorial sunfish like Flier, maybe a shadow bass, or warmouth.

So no I have never bred or sold any of them.

I had one years ago (caught when 1") that was outgoing and very responsive, much like an oscar.
He lived with shiners, not with sunfish, but I 'spect they would mix OK with fliers or banded suns of similar size.
