last night and yesterday in general was not good for my fish. i lost my shiner in my 30 gallon and this morning i woke up and saw that i lost about 200-300 baby bullhead. today i will take out all the dead baby bullhead and change some water in the ten gallon. i hope i can save at least a few baby bullhead so that i can raise them.
you obviously do not know what to do with that many cats... leave them be and go fishing for the parents.
that just has to be a poor decision. you could have waited a week or two waited til the were bigger and snagged a few of them. at a 1/4 how can you even tell there bull head?
i could tell that they were bullhead for a few reasons. one, they schooled like bullhead do with one of their parents guarding them. two, the adult was a bullhead. three, we did not put anyother pregnant catfish in that pond. im cleaning the whole tank today and im going to hope that about 50-100 survive.
I told you just let some be now 200-300 babies are dead 100 of those probably could of made it to adulthood but not anymore....................sometimes I just don't understand peopleryanj612;4248984; said:
I don't really get what is going on here. From the sounds of it you're attempting to keep several hundred bullhead in an uncycled, unfiltered aquarium of what size? It sounds like you need to do some research on proper fish stocking, tank maintenance and the nitrogen cycle otherwise you're just going to keep needlessly killing these baby bullhead. And what do you need three hundred bullhead for anyway? Where do you intend on keeping them when they grow?

Plenty of species eat bullheads, other fish aside the baby bullheads will also be eaten by birds, turtles, snakes, aquatic insects and other predators. Every species has its role in the ecosystem.
The DNR of yesterday is not the same as today, remember that they once put bounties on wolves and are now protecting them. Within their native range bullheads should be harvested responsibly in accordance with fishing regulations. These days it is actually illegal to leave fish to die on the shore. They may have no value to you but they are not without purpose.
