they dont seem to do real well, I had them in a bucket filled to the top with water and an hour and half later, all were on their sides, I thought they all died but I gave them some fresh water before I left and they were fine. So not sure how they would do with being shipped.

Monster Greenie! Gotta love them! It's hard to find a trophy green sunfish these days.

I think the only way to ship natives would be to starve them for 2 days then put In some bag buddies or an aireator that's battery powered and turn it on. Lol the guy mailing it would be like wtf why is it vibrating!

Some are very fragile. I caught some awesome longears this weekend! They looked sick!

I didn't keep any as my tanks are not big enough, but I will next time. I can't resist. I put the colorful and nice ones in my 3/4 acre pond so I can get my own from there.
