Wingin' It Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm also on another forum, where people have and are collecting them in the USA...they're an interesting fish for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I have a couple of tanks of Lepomis megalotis. (Longear Sunfish - Kansas variant) A 125 gallon with 11 juvenile males, and a 54 gallon with 1 male & what I hope turns out to be 4 females. The fish shown below is the same variant as the ones I have. Edited February 20, 2010 by RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Elliott Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Wow, very nice! I don't suppose I could convince you to sell a couple? or could point me in the right direction?

RD. Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) You'll need more than a couple if you plan on breeding them. They will do best either in an all male set up, or 1 male per 3-4 females. I don't have any plans on selling any of mine. Edited February 24, 2010 by RD.
