I hooked a catfish in a pond and it snapped the line a couple years back. Two years later I found my bobber and hook on the side of the pond. The bobber doesn't float any more.

i have about 40 of these. they are anywhere from 1 to 3 inches. they can get well over a foot. ive seen and caught them up to 16 inches.
a guy asked me if i wanted some baby catfish for my tank to trade instead of paying for my baby managuense (jaguar) cichlids. i said yea id take a few not even thinking to ask what kind they were. he brought me a five gallon bucket with about 60 of them. i put a few in my friends coldwater tank but they kept getting eaten. after he went thru about 15 i stopped giving them to him. now im stuck with them because i cant release them.

i was asking for a buck a piece for them to try to pay for all the food they eat lol but really now i would just rather find them a good home. i dont think i can ship them to you tho as they are a native species. i dont want to risk getting in trouble with the law.

Here is a great article to read, I learned a lot about bullheads by reading when I got my first one about 3 weeks ago.

Go to the NANFA forum website (google NANFA forum) and they have a list of all the laws for each state and territory in North America on trading, catching and selling fish, you can also check with your local DNR (division of Natural resoursces, "conservation dept"), some states like Missouri are very liberal on what they consider non-game fish....other states like Tennessee and California have very Draconian laws due to idiots releasing non-natives. Jonahs aquarium, Sachs Aquaculture, Btdarters and Zimmermans fish all sell, and ship natives online and are reputable dealers.biohazardcustomz;4519561;4519561 said:
I have a Yellow Bullhead about 16" long in a 300. Never see him except feeding time. He puts away about 3 frozen jumbo shrimp a day. Tankmate is a bowfin about same size. He eats a lot more than 3.
