Bullhead Breeding

[ataridude]

Hello everyone. I have a pair of Ameiurus natalis (yellow bullhead) in a tank all by themselves. They were nesting and eventually laid a cluster of eggs. The eggs are hatching and there are all of these tiny cream colored fry. My question is as follows: I cannot find any other reference to a yellow bullhead spawning viable eggs in an aquarium without the use of a spawning catalyst. There are all kinds of references to how the bullheads make their nests, but literally nothing that I can find on the spawning of the yellow bullhead in a home aquarium. If anyone has such a reference please send it to me as quickly as possible.

Congratulations. Not that I have ever looked for this info but I've never come across it. What is your purpose? To potentially stake a claim of the first natural spawn in captivity?

It's a new one on me too. Post pics!

Sorry, OP, I can't help you but indeed, pictures and videos would be awfully nice.

Twin thread by the OP in a different forum: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=47823#p318073

IDK, Jools, you might want to combine them as they are the same.
