Bluegill can theoretically hybridize with all other species in the genus Lepomis, though the most common hybrid is the greengill. [32] The hybrid fish are aggressive and have larger mouths than their bluegill parent. These fish also grow faster than other small mouth fish due to its bigger mouth.
They will usually stay near brush piles and under overhanging trees casting a shadow. Bluegill will feed on insects, larvae, worms, crawfish and small fish. A common length for a bluegill will be about 7.5 inches in length and can live a life span of four to six years, but some have been known to live up to 11 years. [21] LC
The fish will often become airborne in their effort to throw the hook, but many say that their cousin species, the smallmouth bass, is even more aggressive. [30] Anglers most often fish for largemouth bass with lures such as Spinnerbait, plastic worms (and other plastic baits), jigs, crankbaits, and live bait
The fish will remove debris and large rocks from their nests with their mouths. Nests are arranged in colonies consisting of about three to 15 nests each. Often, pumpkinseeds build their nests near bluegill colonies, and the two species interbreed. Male pumpkinseeds are vigorous and aggressive, and defend their nests by spreading their opercula.
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]
A betta fish's lifespan can be impacted by the care it receives, WebMD reports. Bettas may live longer if their tank is clean, the environment is calm and their diet is healthy.
The greengill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus × cyanellus) is sometimes referred to as hybrid sunfish or bluegill x green sunfish hybrid. It is a hybrid between a bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus). [1] They can sometimes be found in ponds, lakes, or streams where there is both bluegill and green sunfish.
