Message-ID: 
Gee...I'm very unobservant, aren't I???  (Duh!).
You mentioned you sent article(s)...we received
one (the Longear one).  Have you written
an article on Pumpkinseeds?  I did find
an article about the Dollar Sunfish that
you wrote.  Loved that one as well.  Actually,
I'm like a sponge right now.  Any information
is new and so appreciated!  How can you
tell the sexes apart on Pumpkinseeds?
Would a war ensure if we put the opposite
sex in the tank?  It would be fun to try and
breed them.   What size tank would you
recommend for breeding...and how many
fish?  Hmm...I just have so many questions
right now.
Have a great afternoon/evening...the weather is
BEAUTIFUL here (for a very rare change!).
:-)

have you ever kept sunfish?
Ummmm..Yes I am the author of the articles I send you I often write for
FAMA TFH AFM........I have kept and or bred over a dozen types of sunfish
over the years......Be carefull about adding aditional sunfish to such a
small tank a turf wa would most likley ensue.Try some suckers, darters or
sculpins or madtoms....................
