Re: [GSAS-Member] Pumpkinseed Sunfish?

[jay98116@comcast.net]

Sunfish are great aquarium fish, especially the smaller ones.  I had a 
pumpkinseed for a few years until he jumped! ;-(  and currently have a Bantam 
sunfish, the smallest of them.  They must be really adaptable if yours is in 
with African cichlids.  Mine is in an unheated coolwater tank, with barbs, 
shiners and paleatus cories in soft Seattle tap water with no salts.  I bet he 
would do just as well in the Malawi-Victoria cichlid tank.
