Gulf Coast pygmy sunfish (Elassoma gilberti) 20230129

 

One of my Gulf Coast pygmy sunfish (Elassoma gilberti) It's not a very good photo but he is very camera shy and I consider myself lucky to get a shot.
 

He is eating newly hatched brine shrimp. They will eat the shrimp until their belly bulges and you can see the pink shrimp showing 

 

The Gulf Coast pygmy sunfish, Elassoma gilberti, is a species of pygmy sunfish endemic to Florida, United States. This species can reach 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) in standard length.
