Which one you saw sorta depends on pictures of the fish if you have them. Redear comes to mind. Pumpkinseed can also have red operculum.
Personally I would get a bigger tank and then fill it with many sunfish. From what I hear on this forum and from what I've experienced with African cichlids, many fish diffuses aggression. Pairs and trios don't.

You can TRY keeping two in a 29-gal when they're small, and MAYBE they'll grow up as friends, but don't count on it.
You may have to separate them or move them to a much bigger tank. This is true of all Lepomis sunfishes.
