This Orange spot wanted to eat, i got a few picts of him before feeding time.

this is the most aggressive one out of the 4, he keeps the others in line,

I keep the tank at around 70-72 deg, this one has started to color up.

they are kinda shaky

What kind and how much lighting do you have for that tank? Your plants seem to look quite nice. What do you do to control algae?

Do you know what part of the country that orangespotted sunfish can from? I'm trying to get a handle on the different "strains" and what they look like. Thanks!

Oh, then I think they came from Minnesooo-ta. They are not native to SC, I don't think. Anyway, I know where they got those fish. Thought it looked familiar. Thanks for the info.

To bring it back to the pics in the first post, wow that fish is great looking. I can't wait until i can afford a tank big enough to get some sunfish that look like that
