They looked like the larger sunfish like this. I loved the electric blue on his face. I have seen E. Zonatum but every time I go to catch them they dart under the bank of the creek and I can't get them out. Or they hide in roots from a nearby tree. That sounds like E. Zonatum. Also, aren't pumpkinseeds beautiful (the fish in your picture)! They are popular in Germany, much more so than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_Obermiller Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yes, the contrast orange and blue is amazing! I would throw in minnows for mine to eat. He also loved crickets. They stare at you like cichlids. What is the appropriate tank size for a pumpkin seed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be awesome tank. Maybe some type of darters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was only 4 inches so I kept him a 10 gallon and then built a small pond for him. He loved it, once the water came back I let him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
