Id love to see your bullhead tanks. Ive had my yellow bullhead in QT for almost two months now and im going to finally put him into a mixed cichlid tank.

That's coincidental, I also have a yellow bullhead in quarantine :). He's only been in for one week but I'm going to add him into my 75 gallon within the next week or so hopefully. He's about 4" and I can't really get any good pictures since his "quarantine tank" is a Rubbermaid bin on the floor but here's a low quality one that I managed to get the one time he was out. More pictures once I move him into my tank!

We live in vegas but caught a little 4" yellow in arizona. I cant believe how much they eat. We got it to eat the day we put in a 30g QT. What temps do.you keep these at? Ive got it without a heater staying at 68-74 depending on the AC in the room. But this little guy is meant for a cichlid tank.

While it's in the bin up the temp is 74-77 but once he's in the tank it'll be 75-76. He'll be going in my 75 with a striped raph, a gibbiceps pleco, and a few giant danios (danios are getting taken out once the bullhead gets to big).

@ Loshmitchell101, are you sure you have a yellow bullhead? The mandibular barbels look brown in the pictures and yellow bullheads have white mandibs.
