Re: [GSAS-Member] Website with Native fish.... Field trip!

[Trish <snips36@yahoo.com>]

I used to catch sunfish with my dad as a kid, they would almost jump into the 
boat...you could almost just scopp the net into the water, and you'd get 
something....

Yes they are cichlid like in behavior, and I knew they couldnt be in anything 
smaller than a 55 gal.....Maybe someday I can keep them....
