Sunfish are known to be mostly active during the day and rest or sleep at night. They typically float near the water's surface, appearing motionless and conserving energy while sleeping. However, some sunfish species may also drift deeper into the water column to rest.
Depends on the specific kind of sunfish, but in the wild the average lifespan of most sunfish species is around 5-7 years. In captivity they will live longer, however, so they could be seen to live 10+ years in that situation.
A sunfish's niche is typically as a predator in aquatic ecosystems, feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. They help control populations of their prey species and also serve as a food source for larger predators. Sunfish are an important link in the food chain and contribute to the overall balance of marine environments.
