I caught this fish at yesterday and I want to put them up in my 90 gallon. I have for longear and a small bluegill.

The Green sunfish is about 4-4.5 inches. The rest of my fish are pushing 2-3 inches.

Would he be a badfit for the aquarium ie. kill all the fish or bully them to death?58915d30307e4453b77d0098b523fa4a.jpg076459f94e2f80a581a4d59e9d2755f5.jpg6da3967040a32a094a355f67cd9f87b0.jpg

Greens are an awesome and personable fish, but nasty and aggressive. From my past experiences with introducing green sunfish into an already established tank with smaller sunfish, it won't turn out well. Twice and ONLY twice I ended up with descaled and dead smaller fish. Greens don't tolerate other sunfish much at all.

Anyone else want to weigh in on this with their experiences?
