The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

well i was just wandering because I can find them in the brackish swamps around here. I guess I'll just do some mosquito fish and flagfish.

If you see a sunfish in the wild in brackish water, then there is your answer.

What kind are they? I'm a huge fan of the long ear sunfish. The dollar sunfish is cute too and stay pretty small.

I wouldn't put a wild fish inside your tank honestly. My dad did that and it killed all his chiclids lol

Just because a fish visits BW, does not make it a BW fish, indefinitely.

There are a lot of sun fish, and the only one i know to be BW is the Lepomis Gibbosus, bit us very big...
By the way, in my country we call "sunfish" to the mola mola ñ_ñ
