The Delaware River (and Bay) are too big to fit into the county-based scheme of this website, so I gave it its own top-level page. These maps include the adjacent canals, which are good places in themselves to go, but often obstruct access to the river. Zoom in to separate the markers. The orange line is the approximate limit of the Delaware River drainage.

Bluegill Sunfish

There is scarcely a body of water in the state that does not have Bluegills in it. Bluegills get to a foot long, but are seldom seen at that size.

All sunfishes are aggressive and territorial. Their belligerence is heightened in the confines of an aquarium, where you may start out with several small ones, but you will end up with just one big one. A sunfish will tear a fish-store cichlid to pieces. They adapt readily to regular fish food, but lose most of the attractive wild colors.
