I'm going to be taking this fella in from a friend next week and want to be able to research it a little before it arrives. The friend bought a tank that it came with which is why we don't know.

Southern variant of brown bullhead. Same care as for the northern in a home tank.

It is the same Ameiurus nebulosus with the same DNA as the northern brother http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=52 AFAIK.

I used to have a 14"-er. Very personable, inquisitive, fearless, interactive, smart, and greedy. My current two are only ~5". There are two ~6" northern brown bullheads in their 240 gal tank too. All getting along fine.
 
Awesome he'll probably be going into a 100 with my red terrors, but end up in a 300 with a couple sun cats and my Oscars and jd
