Okay, I am only asking a question because my better judgement says bad idea. I have until tonight to make this decision. I have been waiting to get 3 Warmouth fish from a guy selling them.(Very long Story)

I am torn between getting my Favorite fish and risking their safety against my 1 foot brown bullhead. The bullhead is very docile towards the 4 blue gills and 1 green sunfish.

There is still enough territory in the tank. My instinct still says NO and I also feel the tank(75 gallon breeder) is stocked enough. The Warmouth should be around 4 inches. Option #2 is put turtles in something else and put the Warmouth in that tank until I get the 300(Hopefully no one gets it before me)

The guy says he can sell the fish to another person if I change my mind. Again, the seller is giving me until tonight to decide. What do you think people?
 
If the warmouths are anywhere near the size of the bullheads mouth, they will be dinner. Also, the other centrarchids in the tank may object to new conspecifics being introduced. Better to house the warmouths seperately until they are too big for the bullhead to eat, and get the 300 and throw them all in at one time.
