They also like to hang out in muskrat and beaver burrows. One of our livestock watering ponds was also good at supporting Warmouth in the brick lined area where the pump was located. That spot was like a cave. They are also partial to using cans and hollow logs.

What is really cool it their capacity for changes colors. In my experience not other sunfish come close to the Warmouth's ability to change with back ground.
