The longear sunfish, Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque) occurs in a variety of habitats but is most common in moderately flowing streams where it occurs along the margins near cover such as vegetaion, undercut banks, logs, or brush.
Similar species: The redbreast sunfish, Lepomis auritus, sympatric in east Tennessee, is very similar to the longear, but has palatine teeth present, higher lateral-line scale counts (43-50), and lacks a pale margin on the opercular lobe.
Young-of-year are separable from the very similar young of green (Lepomis cyanellus) and redbreast (Lepomis auritus) sunfishes on the basis of lateral-line scale counts and their shorter gill rakers.

 SEMINAR/STUDY TOUR IN THE U.S.S.R. ON GENETIC SELECTION AND HYBRIDIZATION OF CULTIVATED FISHES
The four species selected for study were the red-ear sunfish, Lepomis microlophus, the bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, the green sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus, and the warmouth, Chaenobryttus gulosus.
Hybridization of male warmouths with females of the three Lepomis species resulted in partial or complete lethals, suggesting that in the warmouth the male is the heterogametic sex.
The Lepomis species have such high reproductive capacities and survival capabilities that they commonly become so abundant that they are unable to grow to sizes large enough to be of value to fishermen.

NEW MEXICO Lepomis megalotis is native to the Pecos and Canadian drainages and has been introduced into the Rio Grande and Mimbres basins.
Immediately after spawning, the female leaves (or is chased) from the nest and the male remains to guard the demersal, adhesive eggs and to aerate and embed the eggs in gravel by fanning them with its caudal fin *01*.

 Saving the Longeared Sunfish, by Fred Hamilton
Summary: The longeared sunfish, Lapomis megalotis, is endangered or extinct in much of its former range in Central and Eastern U.S. In an effort to conserve them, Fred bred and raised 200 fish, which he distributed to collectors and also to the Cleveland Metropark Zoo.
Locally, we are fortunate to have one of the most beautiful representatives of the family, the longeared sunfish, Lepomis megalotis (Fig.
I have worked with many species of fish, but the longeared sunfish is probably one of the easiest -- and certainly one of the most beautiful -- species which I've had the pleasure to know.

 ADW: What is in a Scientific Name?
There are other species of sunfish in the genus Lepomis, examples are Lepomis cyanellus (green sunfish), Lepomis megalotis (longear sunfish), and Lepomis gibbosus (pumpkinseed sunfish).
Notice that all of these species share the same generic epithet, this indicates that they are all thought to be more closely related to each other than to any other species of fish.
The specific name, megalotis, means "big ears." Another example is yellow-headed flbirds, whose scientific name is Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus, which literally means "yellow-headed, yellow head." Scientific names also sometimes bear the names of people who were instrumental in discovering or describing the species.

 The Central Longear (Lepomis megalotis) As An Aquarium Species
With the increased interest in Natives over the past decade a great many of our native species are being rediscovered as an aquarium species.
They range from the gentle Black Banded Sunfish (Ennecthaseus Chatedon) whose graceful fins, angel like coloring, slow movements and delicate temperament are a hit with the Discus crowd.
To the positively brutal Green Sunfish (Lepomis Cyanellus) whose large mouth and pugnacious attitude make the Oscar lover in us all smile.
