bullhead died

[xander]

I found my black bullhead dead this morning. The same one in most of the pics posted on this site. He had blood around his anus. I am thinking he ate something he couldn't pass and it plugged him up. I put in a few small snails not too long ago. But if that were the case wouldn't an accident swallowing of a rock do em in. Oh well he got to be 8 inches in length (20.3cm) and about 1 3/4 in at the head (4.4cm). I suppose I will have to get another. Had to be one of best fish I've ever kept.
