Mississippi fish guy Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I am planning on setting up a heavily planted 10 gallon for pigmy sunfish and I have some questions. 1. How many pigmy sunfish in a 10 gallon? 2. can you keep banded and gulf coast pigmy sunfish together in a 10 gallon? If so where can I buy gulf coast pigmy sunfish? 3. Do they accept pellets or other prepared food or will they only eat live and frozen food? 4. Does anyone know if you can legal collect banded pigmy sunfish for aquariums in Mississippi? 5. What are the water parameters for pigmy sunfish? 6. Do they do better in a heated or unheated aquarium? 7. What are you thoughts on keeping scuds (amphipods) with the pigmy sunfish? 8. What would be needed in the tank for them to spawn? 9. What plants would you recommend to get a densely planted 10 gallon. thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepere Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 There are any number of fish care guides online about them.. I have looked in to them before but never kept them I would try an internet search for “Pygmy Sunfish care guide” as a start. i think they are quite attractive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
