BullHead Catfish

Post by Fishlover14 »

Hey all. I have posted on this forum before but I thought I would let you all know my current Bullhead Catfish Tank Setup and ask a few questions about Bullhead Housing.
I have a 100gal With Dual Emporer 400 Filters, I do not have a heater cause Bullheads are Coldwater cats, I have black pea gravel substrate, and fake plants (when the bullhead dosent dig them up)and a cave for the fish to hide in. I have one Yellow Bullhead in the Tank who is around 11-12'' long and 2 years old. I feed once a day usually with chicken liver but sometimes beef heart. Does this sound like a good setup?
I have a 40long with an Emperor 400 and a Penguin 330 Everything is the same as the first tank but I have a smaller Yellow Bullhead in it. He is around 9-10'' long.
Are both of these tanks big enough for my fish?
Do the growth patterns of my Bullheads sound normal?
I have a question about collecting Black Bullheads. What is the best way to collect one. I have Yellow and Brown Bullheads now but no Black and I have always been interested in keeeping some Black bullheads. Thanks in advance.

Dan
