from the US fish and wildlife service: A smaller member of the sunfish family, bluegill take approximately 8 years to reach one pound. Coloration varies with age and sex. Most bluegill bodies are light blue to olive green. The breast may be dull yellow in females to bright orange in breeding males. All, however, have a dark blue “ear” on the opercle. Bluegill build nests for spawning in June and usually nest in colonies with dozens of nests in each colony. Fish travel in schools, so if you catch one there is a good chance you can catch more in the same area. Best method is a worm or a grub on a small hook using a small bobber.
what is your experience in growing them in a recirculating system?
