Hello fellow fish lovers! I just joined the forums recently and just want to say that I share yall's passion for the beauty of the aquatic. As a matter of fact, I have some sunfish in an aquarium that I have had for a couple of months now and I love the whole lot of them especially my colorful male. I have a lot of species of sunfish in the lake where I live here and enjoy catching them and looking at there wonderful varieties. Thank you all for having me!!!

Welcome Stumpknocker... there are a few Georgians here on-line... as you can see from my profile, I am up here in the northern part of the state... others are located more southernly... between us all, there should be someone relatively close to you... always good to get out and take a look at some fish.

I agree! I have loved to fish since I was old enough to hold a pole. Now that I am older and have a son of my own, I can teach him to respect the fish and wildlife like I was taught. I am glad there are fellow Georgians here and I want to say hello to them all. The south definately has a variety of Sunfish and other fish to admire.

I moved to Whigham about 2 years ago from Florida. I'm originally a Yankee, but now I'm a damn Yankee! I think this is a great place to live.

Hey, I spent 5 years working in Thomasville. I lived in Cairo for a little while, but soon moved into town. That was when I just started with the native fish thing. I worked for Rose's at the time.
Ha! Small world. I live 10 miles from Cairo.

Welcome to the forum, Stumpknocker!
Another Georgian here.
I live up in Fayetteville, but spend my weekends in Morrow. I'm about 30 minutes south of Atlanta.
I'm a sunfish freak
So I'm curious, what species do you have?
I'm also a proud paying member, thank you very much.

Y'all need to go into your profile and indicate that you are a member... that will let everyone know how proud you are to be a member... and keep the Irate Morman from hinting at you about membership...
Well joined fellow Georgians!

I have 2 males and 2 Females...and I just added a crappie in the mix for an experiment to see how they will get along...it was weird one of the female greenies was sharing a cave with it and when any other sun would come close she would run them off...
I don't know what that is about...anyways back to the species of my 4 the two males are different species...one is a Redbreast Sunfish, the other is a longear sunfish. The two females are greenies. I have alot of cover for them all so they can hide whenever they feel like it.....but they keep eating and eating. The blood worms don't seem to hold them is there anything more filling I can feed them so they want eat as much? I don't want to overfeed. They all seem to be geeting along good I have them all in a 150 gallon setup that was given to me by a good friend. I am taking any input on the food situation as well as if yall think there good tank buddies

I don't think sunfish understand the concept of "full". Just feed them what seems like a reasonable amount, and if they seem to stay healthy, then stick with it. As far as other foods, they'll eat feeder fish and crustaceans, of course, and many people have trained their sunfish to take pellets.

I love all of the sunfish for their own reasons. How big are they?
As far as food, Newt pretty much summed it up. Younger fish are easier to train to pellets.
If you feed minnows, make sure they're healthy. Most store bought feeders are diseased and have malnutrition.
P.S. If you ever have an extra female green, think of me.
