Spotted sunfish

The Spotted sunfish, characterized by its vibrant spots across a backdrop of green and blue hues, is a freshwater species native to the waters of the southeastern United States. This small-sized fish, adorned with a compact, laterally compressed body and a distinctive pattern, is a sight to behold in its natural habitat. While its stunning appearance suggests it would be popular among aquarium enthusiasts, the Spotted sunfish remains relatively less known in the hobby compared to its other sunfish counterparts. Its beauty and unique features continue to make it a potentially interesting choice for those looking to diversify their freshwater aquariums.
