    Default Test your Sunfish ID skills


    Hi Folks,

    In a few of the forums and groups I am a member of, I see a lot of people mis-identify sunfish and panfish species. So I've made a "quiz" to test your knowledge on 10 of the most common sunfish species. I'd appreciate any feedback, or let me know what ya think if you want to test your skills!

    I’m goin to pre-fail myself! About the only two I’m sure about are the long ears and pumpkin. I love the colors of the long ears when they are in full mating color. Beautiful little guys.

    Enjoyed the quiz. i missed the green sunfish. The ones i've caught weren't so long and lean. To bad this wasn't a course i could have taken in college. My GPA would've been higher.

    I've always thought the Long Ears were prettier than any aquarium fish i've ever seen. Just a miracle of nature!

    Got 8 out of 10 and one of the ones I missed I knew but picked the wrong answer by mistake. It was the black crappie , I get those confused if I don’t take time to think about it .

    9 out of 10 is pretty darn good! A lot of folks seem to miss the mud sunfish, and confuse the long ear and redbreast.

    Scored 9/10; never heard of a mud sunfish, so I guess I learned something.

    10/10.. I had to guess on that mud sunfish one, never seen nor heard of that in my life... but it was ugly and looked like something that would live in mud LOL
