Looks like it's actually Pumpkinseed sunfish that are invasive to Europe, not Green Sunfish or Longear. Longear sunfish are a bit more rare anyways, and not as aggressive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkinseed link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10530-008-9220-7 I don't think people having these dudes as aquarium pets is going to reduce their numbers by much if they're already infested, in fact having them as pets would probably increase the chances of them invading more waters, as people don't like killing their fish when they have to get rid of them, and have an unfortunate habit of putting them in local bodies of water. Here in Michigan we have Goby fish in the Great Lakes, and those fuckers can only be exterminated by fishing them out and killing them, and never using them as bait-fish. They out-compete with lake Perch, but they've been getting reduced successfully, and now not so much. All I'm saying is just be glad they're not green sunfish. Those guys are native to central America, but are so aggressive and relentless destroyers of ponds, that the east and west coast considers them invasive species, despite being only a few states over.

These are amazing. A lot of the U.S. native panfish are pretty during spawning season. Pumpkin seed are especially colorful.

These are a few of my favorite things.... Haha, good music an Sunfish! Love their red Mohawks! Amazing looking population! I've got a pond an swim with them, but they're not as brightly colored as these little beauties! 💖🐟 #SUNFISHLO❤E

They're so beautiful

Awesome video and absolute gorgeous fish. Do you know if these are common in florida?

Here in Indiana go down to ANY creek cast out bread and you’ll get tons of them.

had to pause to comment. This orchestral poker face is amazing.

Wow, their beauty rivals any tropical African Cichlids

They have some amazing color!

I only have 1, but when more are available will buy 7 more it is the only fish that doesn't lose its color around other fishes. ❤

If you don’t mind me asking, where was this filmed Like state, region, and or/what body of water? I just would like to snorkel and see them in person. Although I would understand if you would like to keep the location undisclosed to protect the fish from capture/human activity.

I though I recognized the song

Always funny to me how sunfish form these tight schools in the wild, and yet they will fight until they die before just settling with a single other sunfish in an aquarium.

Who dislikes this and why..? awesome footage...

I love long ear sunfish so much

Some long ears have less color while others are more vivid. What is the factor that decides these colors changes? Temp? Clarity? Thank you,

@brandonbrown3357

I think its at least partly genetics. The most vivid colors are always in clear water, but it seems like some pops have more red, and some more blue. Not sure, but diet may play a role too...

Yes. Outside of breeding season, they are still, in my opinion, the most beautiful of the sunfish but nowhere near what you see here. There's still a lot of red, but it doesn't "pop" like you see here.

Do you still have any of the color?

specie of those black snails?

If in a tank or large aquarium, what light source is used here(fluorescent / incandescent? These fish and the vibrancy of color are incredible! I keep a male Northern sunfish in my aquarium, but he's never this brightly colored. I used a 5000 Kelvin temp fluorescent(natural daylight) LED for my tank. Of course, my sunfish also isn't in breeding colors. However, they do keep their color year-round. Any tips please? Thanks!

Longears have been introduced into southern Michigan. Northern sunfish are very similar to them and are native to the entire lower peninsula region. Although the standard reference works recognize them as two different species, many people do not. You could probably collect them yourself, but check Michigan law before you do. Jonah's Aquarium lists longears for sale at 1 to 1.5 inches--$12 each for up to six, $7 dollars each for seven or more. They recommend at least a 55 gallon tank if you're planning to keep more than three. I think I'd go with a 100 gallon despite their small size (5 to 7 inches) because these fish have a reputation for being scrappy . . . even for sunfish. The maximum recorded length for longears is 9 inches, but that's an outlier. (The maximum for northern sunfish is 5 inches).
