Green Sunfish

Green Sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) are also known as sun perch, bluegill or brim. They have deep sides and a small mouth with a long pectoral fin and a spot on the dorsal fin. Sunfish diet consists of insects, insect larvae, fathead minnows, and most fish foods. They spawn through midsummer when water temperatures are 65-85 degrees. Nests are constructed in 1 to 4' of water on firm sand and gravel bottoms. Typically 400+ fish per acre is recommended for stocking.  All sunfish are sold as an ornamental species and not for human consumption. Bluegill can range in size from 2" to 4". We measure from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and the fish can fall anywhere in the ordered size range.  Please note the pictures shown above are a good representation of our fish, but not the exact fish you will receive. RESTRICTIONS: It is the buyers responsibility to check all restrictions in their state and county before ordering. These fish are ornamental species and not for human consumption.
