I would say two because they can get to be 8 to 10 inches. But to keep aggression on one fish down I would keep at least 4.

how about stocking for red breast sunfish? The resources say that the place were i'm going to collect them says there are only pumpkinseeds there but they really look much more like red breast sunfish than anything

Again according to size only a couple.I have never kept redbreast so I'm not sure how aggressive they are. With most sunfish it is best to overstock to keep aggression to a minimum.What ever you choose,I myself would keep 4 of either species.

thanks if I go that route I will post some pictures....I'm still trying to go the perch route but I just can't seem to get one that isn't 7-10 inches. So i'm starting to contemplate going with a redgreast.
