Brown Bullheads for a 120g ( you can get them in a spotted or splotched pattern).
I just picked up a very juvenile brown bull head I will post pics tomorrow for positive ID.

I love'em, post pics please, theyre little monsters in their own right theyre tough enough to hold theyre own with Green sunfish and Pumpkinseeds but not mean enough to kill everything in your tank.
Don't they get like 18 inches? The tank would require 2 foot depth correct? What about length of the tank and recommended tank mates?

Approximately 48*24*24 is a 120g tank which is the perfect size for these predators (I would say a 75g is the minimum), I am not sure how aggressive you want your tankmates to be or what kind of fish you want in the tank; but here are some choices, Medium to Large Lepomis Sunfish (Redbreast, Bluegill, Green, Spotted, central Longear, Pumpkinseed, Redear, Warmouth), Rockbass Ambloplites type, Chain Pickeral, Small Bass (like the Suwannee, Guadalupe, Spotted if the Bullhead is a little bigger than it, Redeye), Golden Shiners, Large Shad, Fallfish etc.
Is four foot length an appropriate distance or is it not super active. I would do sunfish with it I believe just have to pick the species. What about temperature? Is driftwood ok what about caves and plants. Thanks for all your help so far I'm so excited.

I'm considering ordering from http://www.zimmermansfish.com/Price.html What is the minimal adult size of sunfish that can be kept with the bullhead? Also how do I know what species of sunfish can live together. I really have no knowledge of native fish. So I guess what size, what species and how many in a 120 with the cat?
IF you are indeed ok with a species tank, I'm going to have to cast my vote for electric catfish! They grow quickly when they're young, but they slow down. My guy has been in a 40br for a while. Not saying it's ideal, but given his level of activity, it's fine for now (he will be moving to a 75-90 gallon in a month or so).
They are hilarious to watch, and pretty unique for a catfish. Mine eats out of my hand every night too! I've started keeping schools of small tropical fish in his tank to see how he handles company. Right now he has a school of neons in there with him, and I've only lost 2 in the past 10 days (8 left).
