I am putting an aquarium of NA warmwater fish together, most of which will be centrarchids, and am contemplating including the bluespotted. The tank will have bluegills and pumpkinseeds. It is also likely to have redbreasts, longears, and redears, and probably a brown or yellow bullhead and a Cambarus sp. I have raised may sunfishes in aquaria, but I have never even seen a bluespotted sunfish, let alone maintained one in an aquarium.
My questions are:
1) What is the maximum size that the bluespotted reaches? All of the pictures I have seen show a VERY small fish.
2) Does the bluespotted fair well with bluegill and pumpkinseed?
Thanks,
Paul
