I had to share these photo's, two beatiful natives at a good size for a tank. Both fish were released as a bullhead already lurks in my 180g. I didn't trust my big Jag with the pumpkinseed.

Around this time last year I caught my pumpkinseed and brown bullhead bullhead. My bullhead was about that size when I got him and he is now 8" and growing fast.

Growth rates may certainly vary by fish. I got a batch of 4 fry 13 months ago. After one month one was double the size of the other 3. Needless to say I kept the largest and gave the other 3 away. My bullhead is now 11" and does not seem to be slowing down his growth. He eats once per day, right at lights out. I was in touch with one of the people who took one of the others, that fish is said to be at the 7 inch mark right now.
