Big, beautiful, bright sunfish! The Red Nape variety of the Longear Sunfish is one of the most sought after strains. "Red Nape" refers to a red line that runs down the top of the head between the dorsal fin and the snout. A breeding male Longear Sunfish, of any strain, rivals the brightest of freshwater or marine fishes. It must be seen to be believed!

The Lepomis sunfishes are similar to the Central American cichlids in terms of their body type, size and ecological niche. Breeding males will built nest pits in the substrate mostly by sweeping manuveurs of the tail. Often these are arranged in colonies with many males nesting side by side. Females enter to spawn and then leave immediately. Females and males are promiscuous and will spawn with multiple mates in mulitple nests multiple times. The Longear Sunfish is very hardy and adaptable to extreme cold and high heat. Excellent for the aquarium or pond. Great in a planted tank. Will not destroy plants as many of the Cichlids will do. A very impressive display animal for your show tank.

Feed just about any high protein food. Crickets and other insects are especially relished. Easily trained to flakes or pellets.
