Is it a good ideal to keep dollar sunfish with bluegills. I know dollar sunfish are quite aggressive and bluegills grow much larger.
If I had say a 2"-3" inch dollar with a 5"-6" bluegill would the bluegill go after the dollar sunfish?

Problems more likely to arise later with the dollar sunfish approaching 3"-4" if it is male. Dollars are honory while bluegills can be more easy going.

Thank you for the reply, so far I have not had a single problem. :biggrin:
The dollar sunfish is the smallest I have in my aquarium, very spunky and Im pretty sure he's a male too.
He tries to be dominant, but my other fish are way to large for my dollar sunny to cause them any problems.

My little breeding 4" dollars can put hurt on even 10" bluegill if latter can not get away.

oh wow, yeah my dollar is just above 2" and my biggest bluegill is about 5-6"
So far nothing serious just regular territorial standoffs
