Uhhh... tips for moving a big bullhead????

[KittyKatFish100]

Hey all. I am upgrading from a 55 gallon to a 75 gallon... how am I supposed to move my 14" bullhead safely to his new home?
Thanks all!

I used a doubled trash bad and coaxed my bullhead in there with a piece of shrimp. He was pretty comfortable so I just nudged him in.

I lure fish in with food through a heavyduty transparnt bag and then carefully haul the fish in the bag over to a new tank and dump him in...

Do you dump the water in with it? I heard it was a bad idea to mix waters... or is that just for pet store fish? lol

I would just dump the water in the new tank with the catfish. That mixing water is really just for pet store water, or water your unsure of.

Ok I'll just do that then. Thanks all! Moving him from the 10 gallon he was in first was kind of difficult but I'm betting It'll be better this time around!

I don't know how fast they grow because I caught him a few months ago and he's around the same size maybe a little bigger... that's a good question lol
