| Species used as hosts by this species are orange spotted sunfish, bitterling, white-tail shiner, spotfin shiner, and big-eye chub. |
| There are bowfins, longnose and Florida gars, 15 species of sunfish, seven species of catfish, largemouth bass, and Suwannee bass. |
| Other options such as white bass, crappie and channel catfish are available, but the ubiquitous sunfish is the most widespread and plentiful. |
| Even that can be a blessing in disguise when basking sharks and sunfish follow their lunch. |
| Consideration has been given to gars as a possible aid in controlling overpopulation of sunfish and yellow perch as well. |
| The twin lakes are stocked with channel catfish, blue catfish, bluegill sunfish and largemouth bass. |
