I have a 75 gallon with a oscar and 3 BPs, and i was wondering if i have enough room for a species of bullhead. I can't seem to find any in down here in Texas, but in Illinois they don't seem to reach a large size at all.
bullhead?

A bullhead would do fine in a 75. Be aware there are several species of bullheads; the larger widespread ones (white cats and brown, black, and yellow bullheads) reach 16-24" depending on species and can be aggressive. The smaller Deep Southern ones (spotted, snail, and flat bullheads) are seldom more than a foot long and seem to be more mellow. I recommend getting one of the smaller species for that tank.
Not offhand. You could email Sachs (http://www.aquaculturestore.com/) and see when they might get some. Otherwise try the NANFA trading dock; there are several southerners there who may be able to catch the smaller species for you. It's a good idea to introduce yourself, ask some questions, and post in a few threads before you post a wanted ad.
Since i have some room left over in the tank, i do want a native, but im having trouble choosing. Aquaculture has warmouths, but i think they might be too agressive for the parrots. In a few days im going camping at Lake Buchanan in Burnet,Texas. I might as well check and see if there are any smaller bullhead species present.
