intresting 1 option is correct ......and that is SUNFISH so SAI is the winner.
NOw i need some help with keeping of this fish i mean i tried searching the net but nothing valuable need food requirements i know they are omnivore temp best for them because some say they are cold water as native to cold water zones of us others say warm water and what is there average life...and size because i hear they can live upto 4 years and 6 to 8 inches growth.
so need some confirmation. |

Many MFK guys keep these. I've heard that tank bred ones are more tolerant to wide fluctuations in temperature and pH. |
