first pond, are sunfish a good choice?

the ponds new and the waters clear, is this why you think sunfish are
harder to see because they dont have bright orange color? i could see
that becoming a problem but i hope it stays clear enough.

Because most fish are dark on top and difficult to see to avoid
predators. In the wild (and even in our ponds) fish with color on top
like koi, goldfish, or rosy reds get picked off very easily by predators
like herons.
