New Bullhead Catfish

I think he will be fine, but I like to feed after the lights are out.

As a safety measure you might want to check your water conditions, I have never seen a healthy bullhead turn down food.

try frozen brine shrimp cubes.....my bullhead goes crazy when they smell the first hint of shrimp. Yeah it's a good idea to close the lights and then dropping a cube.

so it didnt go for the shrimp pellets...so i turned out the lights and dropped in 2 nice juicy earthworms....he ate both of them and now he looks like a fatbody that just ate a football YAY!!

My bullhead started as a tiny fry, I didn't see him eat until he was 7". Drop some food in at night of the sinking variety, I don't believe there ever was a bullhead that starved to death.

I have to agree-I have never seen more glutenous fish on whole.
Worms, beef heart, etc

Glad to hear it, I hope you don't have plants, because they will be toast.

They are quite nocturnal and love small worms.

Ya, I've heard that they tear up plants, and that can be VERY frustrating!
