This is a big fish that is a bit Cichlid-like in its appearance and behaviour, much like it's cousin the ''[[Lepomis macrochirus]]''. Unlike L.macrochirus, the Pumpkinseed is a bit of a meanie, it will definitely eat fish small enough to be considered a snack and can be aggressive towards other tank mates. It can only be kept with similar sized and VERY robust tank mates, including their own kind although two males will display and fight with one another. They are also quite messy fish and require a spacious and well filtered aquarium. Diet wise they are unfussy, most meaty foods will be accepted. They will also take great pleasure in redecorating their tank, so any décor should be heavy and very secure and any heaters/thermometers must be protected. <span style="color:#FF0000">Note: this fish is '''illegal''' in England and Wales.</span> | This is a big fish that is a bit Cichlid-like in its appearance and behaviour, much like it's cousin the ''[[Lepomis macrochirus]]''.
