 Bluegills though they are a regal fish are much less colorfull than
either the orangespotted or longear sunfish.   If you would consider
either of those, then I think you could have a stunning display.  The
orangespot would be more apt to leave the plants alone as they dig less.
 For minnows I would recommend southern redbellied dace as they look
absolutely stunning in a planted tank.  Way much better than fatheads.
There are may other very colorful minnows, but I have to say I am
partial to this dace because of its beauty and ease of maintenance.
Over black gravel both the orangespotted sunfish and the dace would
glow.

I can't say why your minnows died last year, but it may not have been
because of those black spots.  You can expect your fish to live a lot
longer than nine months though.  ]

What part of the country do you live in?
