I have a 75 gallon that I have had set up for a couple of weeks. Right now it has minnows in it for cycling but soon to have some sunfish swimming around.
Probably just bluegill unless I can catch something different. This article has been a great help.

I love keeping centrarchids. Currently i have largemouth bass, bluegill, redspotted sunfish (Lepomis miniatus), bantum sunfish, longear sunfish, and a warmouth. Soon I plan on adding a flier. My favorite sunfish to keep is the shadow bass. I lost mine when I moved and have not been able to collect one here.

I had sunfish in tanks alot. Bluegills are my favorite. One problem I have , they lose there colors and lighten way up. You have to put a lot of green and dark plants and background to bring out there colors.

I've been having 3 sunfish in 1 of my 75-gal aquariums for 3-years now, they have great color and personality, not only great as food but as pets as well
