Where did he/she come from?

While moving fish around today, I found this fellow in a 29 gallon. It's pretty clearly a native sunfish, either bluespotted or banded (not black banded). Didn't know I had any inside. My best guess is that I brought him inside last September with a bunch of similarly size Anomalochromis thomasi fry. Nice surprise, but he's going back in the pond today. Very strange feeling to find a fish I didn't know I had in any of my tanks!

I have a hard time just getting fish to procreate and you get them to just materialize out of nowhere in your tank. Lol

Hah! I’m embarrassed that I didn’t realize months ago that the fish was a sunfish, but he’s been hiding from the breeding thomasi.

Such a perfect meme for Matt.

Oh, I wish it were true! There are so many species that I have not gotten to breed.
