Many species rely on interspecific interactions during various parts of their life history, including when breeding, acquiring food, and seeking shelter. Here, I make an observation of minnows choosing to associate with one nest-building species over another. I found that when Lepomis megalotis (Longear Sunfish) and L. cyanellus (Green Sunfish) build adjacent nests, minnow nest-associate species were more abundant on the nests of Longear Sunfish. In addition, Longear Sunfish spent more time chasing minnows off their nests than Green Sunfish did. While minnow–sunfish nest-association behavior is well documented, there is little natural history information regarding host preferences. This observation is relevant in setting up hypotheses and formulating questions about these interactions.
