I was going to get another bass since one died, and I was wondering what sunfish I should get.

Here is the list:

Golden Redbreast Sunfish, Lepomis auritus,
Lepomis megalotis megalotis, Central Longear Sunfish
Lepomis gibbosus, Pumpkinseed Sunfish
Lepomis auritus, Redbreast Sunfish
Lepomis cyanellus, Green Sunfish

or I could get instead of a sunfish:

Ameiurus platycephalus, Flat Bullhead
Ameiurus nebulosus, Florida Brown Bullhead
Nocomis leptocephalus, Bluehead Chub
Nocomis biguttatus, Hornyhead Chub
Semotilus atromaculatus, Creek Chub

Cottus bairdi, Mottled Sculpin (for the 20)

Temp: 68-82

PH: around 7

I have a longear that is somewhat agressive, but not to the point of killing a fish. I also have a brown bullhead catfish.

I can only get one unless it is a chub.

I will vouch for the central longears and mottled sculpin. Picked some up from Jonah's aquarium a while back (separate tanks). The longears are coloring up beautifully and the mottled sculpins have awesome personalities and are just so unique.
