Bullhead Growth

[kntrygrl4lyfe]

Its just the ghost shrimp tank, I call them feeders.

Well they got them that one time last august, thats when I got my first two. Then probably around feb they got one in but it didnt look very good, bought him then he died a few days later. Then in may they got the two little ones..that I have... and a few weeks later they got another one... which I have... lol. At two other little lfs I found one, but only one of them let me take them, the other one the lady said no, he is to eat the scraps in one of the planted tanks...

The guy told me the only reason that its just mainly ghost shrimp is b/c they raise them in an outdoor pond.

My bullhead is 9" he's grown 1/2" in two months. I caught him two months ago and was gut hooked so I kept him. He eats everything including the fins off of a channel cat the same size. The channel died. He also killed an aztect cichlid by ripping the fins repeatedly. He now lives alone.

Wow they are that nasty with other fish? How big was yours necro when it ripped fins off the cichlid?

Mine is doing so good. When I got him he was so skinny and now looking at him I laugh. Today he is so full he seems a tad miserable he is not swimming so smooth his gut is beyond a marble lol it is just huge!! He swam up today to the top and cleaned all the flakes I threw in for the tetra that were floating yet.

Kntry how on earth are you going to have enough room for all those????? Pond? LOL that is nuts. I can see my bullhead addiction too wanting them all when I see them.

lol thats what I try to tell myself. Natalie.. you dont need another one... but if it wasnt for the fact that when I walk in that fish store and they tell me that there is one in there, I cant help it.

But yeah I have a pond out front that 2 are in. The other four are less then 4inches, so they are inside. Im digging a pond out back for them right now. Slowly but surely its getting done.
