Re: NFC: More on the (black)banded Sunfish
Enneacanthus chaetodon (Baird) - blackbanded sunfish
Enneacanthus gloriosus (Holbrook) - bluespotted sunfish
Enneacanthus obesus (Girard) - banded sunfish
All three of these are native to New Jersey. You can see photos at
http://jonahsaquarium.com/picgallery.htm Chaetodon is the least
aggressive, obesus the most. They are all relatively easy to keep, though
I have had problems with chaetodon over the long term. They may require
soft and/or acidic water. Not sure. Live or frozen foods are readily
accepted. Some may be weened onto dry and freezedried foods.
