Chris287 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) I would like to keep some us native fish. I like pumpkinseeds because but they can get to 5" can I keep a pair in a 20 tall with nothing else and live plants. I would think it would work because you can keep a pair of angels in a 20 tall and they get 6" and a lot taller.

lefty o Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 a 20 of any shape is not enough for a pair of pumkinseeds. they can get over a pound and the size of a larger hand. especially when kept in a nice tank. id consider a 75 a minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris287 Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) what about blue spotted sunfish or black banded sunfish. If I can't get those then I will get pygmy sunfish. Edited June 2, 2021 by Chris287 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordlys Fish Room Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Bluespotted, banded and black-banded sunfish stay around 3 inches and are much better suited for a 20 gallon. They’re slower moving and more timid than Lepomis species and appreciate dense plant cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Or maybe a Florida Flag Fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
