Identify your North American Native Fish

Green sunfish,most grow about 6 inches,but some grow to over 12. Can be rather aggressive.? They eat pellets,crickets,Phoenix worms, or basically everything's NGOs I've ever tried to feed them.

As far as aggression he's not that bad, although he likes do duke it out with my little LM bass at times (never anything serious). Although the two of them have been stressing out my two rock bass lately, working on rehoming the rock bass.

mostly going off the coloration, feels bgill to me, i could be way wrong but thats definitely not a pure green.

Looking closer at the fins I would say he has some bluegill in him.

Looks 100% Green Sunfish to me as well. Just washed out in color. Never try and identify fish using color, it can be very deceiving.

I don't use color for identification, but look at the fins,true green sunfish don't have that.
