Bluegills can grow up to 16 in (41 cm) long and about 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 lb (2.0 kg). While their color can vary from population to population, they typically have a very distinctive coloring, with deep blue and purple on the face and gill cover, dark olive-colored bands down the side, and a fiery orange to yellow belly.
The adult fish are between 20 and 24 cm (7.9 and 9.4 in) in length. Max length is 43.2 cm (17.0 in), compared to a maximum of about 40 cm (16 in) for the bluegill. Redear sunfish on average reach about 0.45 kg (0.99 lb), also larger than the average bluegill. [4]
The bluegill bully is the smallest of the Eleotrids, commonly reaching only 60–70 mm (2.4–2.8 in). [2] It is named for the bright blue edge to the operculum or gill cover, which is present in both sexes. It eats aquatic invertebrates and has an upturned mouth, allowing them to pick invertebrates off the stones above them. [2]
A pumpkinseed x bluegill sunfish that nicely displays the chain-like striping of a bluegill mixed with the orange spots of a pumpkinseed. The colors can differ from bright greens and oranges to darker greens and browns. They usually have dark orange or brown spots, chain-like stripes, or most often a combination of both.
It is, in Swedish view, less important than the cod as it does not populate the Baltic. Like the cod, the population has diminished. [14] Burbot, the only fresh water fish of this order, is common in the whole of Sweden. It is the provincial fish of Västergötland in west Sweden. [15] Atlantic cod

This article claims that Bluegill is the type species of the Lepomis genus, but I have read elsewhere that the Redbreast Sunfish (L. auritus) actually claims this title. Any insight on this? Wesd603 ( talk ) 17:45, 30 December 2022 (UTC) [ reply ]
The larvae that hatch (called phyllosoma larvae) do not resemble the adults. Instead, they are flat, transparent animals around 14 mm (0.55 in) long, but as thin as a sheet of paper. [53] The larvae feed on plankton, [51] and grow through ten molts into ten further larval stages, the last of which is around 30–32 mm (1.2–1.3 in) long. [53]
