My redear sunfish are cohabitating with a reproducing population of fathead minnows. I have observed, at dusk, with the green monster backlighting, the redears gorging on tiny fathead fry. My guess is that this comprises about 10% of their caloric uptake at best, but perhaps a greater percentage of their essential vitamins and minerals.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
