Bluegill get to 10"-12". I recommend at least a 55 for an adult bluegill, preferably a 75. Treat just like you would an oscar. Plus bluegill are cold water fish- no heater is needed nor should be used. Live plants will most likely be torn up and eaten aswell....

I did a TON of research into sunfish a couple months back in preperation for getting a large tank and stocking it with sunfish and a few other natives. I spoke with several north american native fish keepers and joined a forum that works soley with them and they all seemed to have a basic agreement on them.
Some sunfish can be kept well in a 40g, just bluegill are the largest of them..
Hopefully I shall add some in depth guides on keeping sunfish to the official care forum in the coming weeks...

Sure.. It's "grammAr" by the way.

I think maybe you should work on experiencing fish instead of writing caresheets... It seems to me you just don't even bother with it, write a few sentences and call it good. That's not a good technique at all, and judging from the lack of positive responses, I really think you should put some effort into it.

put spaces after your periods and commas. And "U" is actually spelled "You". You might not think it makes a difference, but it does. Your spelling needs some work, you should type this up in a word processor like Microsoft Word. Also, what is the point of this sentence? "Oh I forgot to get a good dechorlinator like stress coat then stress zyme."
