No, that's not a bluegill, that's a flier, Centrarchus macropterus. When they're young, they have the eyespot. They'll outgrow it. I don't have too much experience with these. I think they like soft, acid water. Years ago, I took some home from a trip to Southern Maryland. They didn't live long--my water was too hard, I think. I don't know if they'll adapt to prepared foods, like bluegills and the other Lepomis species will. They may need live (or formerly live) food.
