[PE4COCKB4SS4LYF]

Which is it? im hoping on it being a bullhead =). only bout 2 inches now.. eats frum my hand, dried brine shrimp. He is in a 55 with my largemouth and a smaller version of himself. Hopefully if its a bullhead he will go into my 120 gallon tank.
If it is a bullhead, any info on keeping them, feeding, water perams, n other stuff would be helpful!

Nice little Bullhead. IMO a good aquarium fish. Have 2 at the momement. Food wise they are not very fussy. Pellets, Massivore, Smelt, Beefheart, Prawns and worms.

Growth wise over a foot in a year and a half.

Bullhead for sure, appears to be a brown. Very hardy fish. They'll eat just about anything; pellets, algae wafers, worms, shrimp, crayfish etc. Room temperature is fine and they are undemanding in terms of water quality but I would still strive for the best you can manage.

Mine, also a brown bullhead.

Easy way to distinguish the two groups: look at the adipose fin (the fin on the back behind the dorsal). In bullheads like yours it sticks out from the back like a thumb, in madtoms it keeps going and fuses with the caudal fin.

Good to point that out. To illustrate what he is saying...
