Photos Of My New Fish, Orangespotted Sunfish & Southern Studfish

I now have five orangespotted sunfish and four southern studfish in my 55-gal. lab aquarium. The o-spots were collected by Stan Sung in the Rio Pudre in Colorado, and the studfish are from a creek in Collinsville, Alabama. Stan took the photos below, which very clearly show the features of the fish. The o-spots are still young, only about 5 cm long. The one in the photo is the larger of the two males. The studfish is also the largest male in the group.
