As for bullhead sizes, go to http://fishbase.org and search for genus Ameirus. You'll get bullhead sizes there. Also check on madtoms, genus Noturus.

Well I do agree with you in some aspects of what you said, but I have to disagree on the part that some lfs think its a burden or they just do it for the sake of rescue. The local fish store by my house , houses monster fish all the time. I dont mean housing them as in people come and drop of their monster fish cause they cant house them anymore. I am talking about they just order 3 feet RTC's and TSN x RTC's and 3 feet Arowana's and honestly I come back the next week and its gone. When I ask what happened to the big RTC they go "he got a new home with a guy who's got a such and such size pond in his backyard."
They make good money off of selling monster fish. So honestly if it becomes a burden and they dont want him then i'll hold onto him until I can give him a bigger aquarium or a new home with someone competent. But the reality behind this lfs is that they will make a killing off of my Channel Cat! I wouldn't be surprised if its gone in a few days and they managed to pull 60 to 70 off of it.
In fact I should be the one b*t**ing since I raised him from small and didnt make one cent off of him
Give that channel to me! lol
I have 2 spotted bullheads out in my pond and one's 5-6" and the other is 8" my channel is 9" maybe more. They for right now do fine with each other. Have sence they where tiny. There is no reason they cant be together as long as they have there space and one isnt way bigger then the other.

Yeah so I finally got a Brown Bullhead a little bit bigger than my Channel Cat.
My Channel is about 8 Inches and skinny and the Bullhead is 9 Inches and has more girth.
Based on my observations, I am not sure if they are fighting or if the Channel Cat chasing the Bullhead around and rubbing against him is some sort of strange manner, its almost like they are trying to mate or something....the rubbing occurs when they are parellel to one another from side to side.
There are no signs of injury on the exterior.
*****I am going to upgrade to a bigger tank soon*****
I hope this statement will deter the "Its too small " fanatics from destroying the thread.
Because on MFK , there is no such thing as a big enough tank....Its always too small lol

i have a 15 inch channel cat that is going to my friend's farm pond, when it warms up a bit, it should be so happy in there, the pond is humungus and it's spring fed with an overflow, i'm totally jealous, just think albino channel cats and koi
