Suitable name for love!
Alex Hensel I have I giant 2 foot long one.We feed him ghost minnows from my pond.I named him Goliath.
I got a channel catfish named Gerard
Hows your bullhead doing after 10 months?
@@user-hi1lt9sl8u I got rid of him because he was a lot of work but I'm planning to get a baby one when I go up to Minnesota in a few weeks!
@@misscaptainlily I've had mine for a year he doesn't grow that much for some reason.. I think the reason is that he mostly eats flake food and sometimes when i go fishing i get minnows for him to eat. there is about a dozen in there right now. a few of them have mysteriously gone missing.
At 1:06 the catfish was shimming w the music! Lmao
Thanks for telling me I didn’t notice
Very gentle creatures, i had 2, a male and a female, every time i would clean my backyard pond they would calmly swim around my feet and i could hand feed them
I felt bad catching them for food, you feel sorry for how ugly they look but they're good for eating. I would actually love to stock them in a pond, not for eating, but because they're interesting fish, ugly but neat.
I wouldn’t say any catfish are “gentle” at least not in the wild, bullhead in particular are pretty aggressive from my experience fishing for them, they are cool little fish but they’re so aggressive you can’t even keep other fish with them unless you’re okay with it getting eaten.
Back in the 80's when i was a kid i would always find baby bullheads in the irrigation canals here in Phoenix, Az. i would set up an aquarium just like Yours and keep them as pets and give some to my friends and other kids in the neighborhood. Those where beautiful memories. i think im going to go catch a few baby bullhead set up a new tank.
I use to have a bullhead catfish back in the early 90s named Sweatleaf. I miss him so much... 😞
sorry for your loss😞
Omg this video is so cute!! I’ve had bull heads in my tanks for over 30 years!!! They are adorable!! I have a 12 inch one right now!!! ❤❤❤
Those little bullheads r so cute not gonna lie
Yeah they really are
My bait shop gets these with their minnows and they let my take them home for free. Then I raise them till they get some bigger and then release them.
That really cool!
@@jonathanricketts3838 thanks
What do you feed them
Same and I trained all of mines to eat top water
You are good boi and that gave me the idea to check for those
They grow fast, I just caught a 4in bullhead and I put it in my baby bass tank, love him
Just put him in a small plastic baggie and let him sit in the tank water for about 30 minutes
Well when I got my cat fish he was in about 50° water he’s in probably about 70° water now so it shouldn’t be that bad
@@JDremz Bullheads are very very tough fish they can withstand awful water conditions so as long as it isn't a huge temp change it should be ok.
Jonathan Ricketts oh thanks, but I have a whole fishroom and all and I’ve been keeping fish my entire life.
Poop butt yah lol, I drip acclimated him
Cute little fella aren’t they? Yah never think at first glance that it would get so big.
This is officially a youtube classic, also 1 year without a upload and still hearting comments? Serius dedication dude, i have watched this as long as 3 years ago and i just came back because im into fishing again.
I really appreciate that, just got really busy with life, would love to get back into it, I’m planning a post here soon
thats great! Life does get busy sometimes. I bet the next upload is gonna be awesome.
I caught 6 mix of yellow and brown bullhead pending on area. Late summer early fall look under rocks at Shute you will find them. They make great pet fish and live 15 plus years. Have not found a store bought food they really like been feeding mine live worm pieces and tiny pieces of scallops
I honestly didnt know you could keep a bullhead as a pet I thought it was only certain fish that's really neat thow
I saved a dozen 1.5-2" channel cat from a drying creek. Put them in a 60gal tank just to see their growth rate and they are cute, before i let them go in the connecting pond. Feeding them shrimp pellets, they swarm the pellets
I currently have one in my 75 gallon tank and it's pretty cool
What you feed them when there small
Blood worms
Just bought some minnows for fishing and I took a minnow out about to put it on my hook only to realize they accidentally had a baby bullhead in there. Its now sitting in its own huge tank because I couldnt stand to kill a creature that would grow so big. Beautiful fish.
Nice, just got two eclipse catfish.
Nice dude
I just caught three of these and put them in my 75 gallon.
That’s really cool
I got a baby Bullhead last june while trout fishing. At first I thought it was a tadpole, less than a half an inch long. Just scooped it up in about 4" of water. He's well over 6" now and very comfy in a 20 gal long tank. Since they stick to the bottom I try to get longer, wider tanks rather than taller. Considering cutting down a 55 gal, make it about a foot and a half high.
I caught some and fed them omega 1 cichlid pellets they would gobble them up so quick and grew 6inches in 1 month
I cant get those silly pellets to sink to the bottom! Woah is me!
Tried to order a blue catfish, bass, blue gill value pack off the internet and it's been a month no sign of them I keep getting told it can't be shipped to me but I got a gluper catfish shipped to me in one day... dont buy from gk happy farms
I’m sorry for you man and I will definitely not do that
this fish reminds me of my goods pal Marshy and natlonke and their evoluition into trees!!!😁😁
Dude I have a catfish just like tht I love him he’s so cool and try feeding him crawfish they love tht also I feed mine minnows and he gets so fat after I feed them to him
That’s really cool
I had 2 bull head one about a pinky size and one about half and the big one ate the small one so now i have one
Yeah they can be like that sometimes, and I’m sorry to hear that
How u heart so fast i just commented
And how ur so big after a montg i had my for a year and he about as big as the 3rd week
GamingWithLoucks gone I guess I just fed him a lot
I got my own channel cat and he lives in a kitty pool. He love bluegill and shad
Nice man
Yes I acclimated the catfish, he is a very fat and happy catfish. Bass is doing well. Just bought them a 75g tank, it is cycling now.
Awesome
Very cool to have a pet Bullhead
That bull head need some where to hide there ambush predators
Jade a baby channel catfish for years in a 29 gallon tank. After years I was afraid he would be a tank buster had to let him go. I’m on the look out now for another baby about 1.5 to 2 inches but they are hard to find
i just got one recently, these catfish are eating machines
This might be late but I kept a mini bullhead from a scoop of minnows I got. I’ve had it for 2 years now and it eats regular fish food do you know of any other things I can feed it?
Really anything natural these guys will eat
Damn that was quick thanks.
Dude feed it bluegill, minnows, crawfish and worms, my pet bullhead loves crawfish he always eats them first. Or some crawfish pellets from petco they like tht or dried shrimp from Walmart they will rlly eat anything tho
i have a baby bullhead catfish of about 1 week , i put an earthworm and it doesn't eat , what to feed my catfish please tell anyone.
I have one that grew 1 to 1.5 inches in maybe a week or two
How big is the tank
I got one today at my grandmas lake rn he’s in my 20 gallon tank under some drift wood
That’s pretty cool broski
never mind he passed😞😞😞💔💔i have one yellow belly right now and he’s been thriving for about 6 days now. for the past three days i’ve been trying to catch him a friend. i caught two other yellow belly’s but they died literally an hour or two after putting them into the tank. i have a filter and plants in there and i feed him shrimp, stinky catfish bait, worms, and fish food. i’m afraid he might just pass all of a sudden like the others. should i buy more stuff to put in the tank? is there any specific things i need? i’ve looked all over the internet and not a lot of people make videos of caring for yellow belly’s. only videos of people eating them😢
Lmao I have 2 bullhead and I could never hand feed them, any time I walk near the tank they hide.
That’s how my bullhead was for a while he just now let’s me hand feed I’ve had home for over a year
Jonathan Ricketts what is the food that you give him, and what other fish could I put in a 45 gallon tank
@@vapor1170 i would put in minoes for other foods in the tank
what do you recommend feeding them when they are smaller then the one in the beginning of the video?
Either go with small pieces of worm or bloodworms I used to have a bullhead that was about 1 inch long and that’s what he ate
@@jonathanricketts3838 I have about 10 bullhead that are 1 inch thanks for helping me out!
Yeah no problem, and if your not subbed already you should consider it
love the bullhead i dont know eny one else who does bullheads
I have a baby one a little smaller than yours and I was wondering how often do you feed them
Usually every other day, they eat quite a lot, for babies I would recommend frozen bloodworms
@@jonathanricketts3838 that was I have I’ve been feeding it like half a block mine is about 2 in big
@@jonathanricketts3838 another question ive tryed to look around to try and find the anwser but they are not vary active are they mine seems to sleep and just chill alot is that normal behavor for this fish
@wove-novel8716 yes that is very normal for these fish, they are usually only active while feeding
Should I keep a catfish? If so what size tank should I get?
What kind of catfish
Jonathan Ricketts I have a 250-300 gallon pond would one do fine in there?
That would do great the req size for a tank for a Bullhead is 100
I’ve had a few bullheads. They get quite large but I love watching them gobble down anything that fits. I’m not sure how many gallons I have but I built a 4’x4’ box that has about a foot of water in it for my guy
_¿Eres tonto?_ 55 gallon
Will the bullheads eat dried shrimp pellets?
They should
I just bought 3 small catfish for 5 dollars! I can’t wait till they grow up now :)
Awesome
Your catfish seems to be growing fast! I got my yellow bullhead at about 1 inch. Over a year later, now he's right around 7. Does that seem like a normal growth rate? Compared to yours I feel like that's slow
Seems slightly slow. What size tank and often do you feed him and clean the tank? I caught mine this past April as a half inch fry and he's about 6 inches already.
@@maleekskipper8366 He is in a 40 gallon right now. I feed him every night, about 8-12 Sinking Carnivore Pellets. I don't have an exact cleaning schedule, but I try to do a 30%-45% water change every two to three weeks. Ammonia test always reads 0; I've been meaning to get nitrite/nitrate test too, but don't have it yet.
(I think youtube deleted my first comment, so this might show up twice, I apologize)
@ms.rattypoe1003 Sounds like you're doing everything right so far. A couple of suggestions I have would be more variety in food and time permitted, 25% water change weekly. I feed mine blood worms, fluval bug bites, pellets and catfish wafers.
I caught mine as a baby under a small bridge and the water stopped flowing years ago so there is just a small water pocket that had many pond species bass bluegill catfish perch I caught a baby perch n two catfish the one catfish that lived his name is bane killed the perch n the other catfish n ate them now he’s alone in his own tank he was prob about 2 inches just born been a year n couple months later he’s 6.8 inches gonna move him in a bigger tank prob by the end if this year but he’s my favorite I feed him the best stuff n his tank is so easy to clean oddly enough the tank has a lot of algae I get rid of most it all the time but I think he likes
I caught a baby bullhead catfish today while fishing Actually and it was absolutely adorable was only about say 5-7 inches long and as I was about to take a pic of it the fish started freaking out I told him calm down I just want your picture and it like almost made a pose then i took the hook out gave it a little kiss and gently set it back in the water. I wish I could of kept it as a pet but it's okay
Nice
@@jonathanricketts3838 they are so adorable lol if I could post the pic on a RUclips comment I would lol
Wow they grow fast
Yeah one of the fastest growing fish
There fun to hold slimy and soft it's cool and I stuck my finger in the ones mouth I caught today like 6 in fat one and they got a hard chomper sucker power clamped down hard
He's in my bedroom tank I got a big horned creek chub and two saygeye I caught there about 9 in long super cool fish
What were you feeding it by hand??
Blood worms
How big is that tank? I’m interested in getting one
29 gallons
What dose he eat
Mostly anything from worms to minnows
From your experience this fish is peaceful or aggressive, I can keep Brown bullhead together with other fish, you with what fish you keep it ?
It was pretty aggressive, so I tried to distance him from any fish smaller than him.
What you give cat fish to eat
Red worms
what do you feed ?
Worms and minnows
I just got 2 flathead catfish the size of a mino
Nice
At what temperature was your bullhead living in?
Around 70 But since he’s a bull head and I live in Ohio he’s fine with temperatures super high and super low like when I got him he was probably in 50° water and then I let them acclimate for a long time before I put them in the 70° water
im lookin to get a bullhead for my 75gal, def a cute lil sucker 😂
So neat
What type of cichlid is he with?
Firemouth
@@jonathanricketts3838 ok thanks!
my pet bullhead is stunted because i have him in a small tank
Oh that’s not very good
his name is garry
i real could not help it at the time because the only tank i had is a 3 gallon tank but i did save him from death he was in a puddle of a drying out creek
Yeah that’s pretty cool
he was less than a month old when i found him
Where did you get him
Out of a creek
@@jonathanricketts3838 texas?
No unfortunately, I wish I lived in texas
I have a blue belly bullhead named Taurus.
I’ve never heard of a blue belly bullhead but that sounds really cool
@@jonathanricketts3838 basically a bullhead that has a blueish belly instead of a yellow one. They are pretty common here is minnesota. I got him by a river from my dad.
Ah ok
What do you feed them?
Night crawlers or bloodworms
I’m planning on catching one of these and keeping it can i feed it minnows?
You should!
But don’t feed it the small goldfish things from the pet store if your gonna feed it minnows feed it crappie minnows
2:08 what is that
Red worms
Bloodworms my bad
where did you buy it?
I didn’t buy it I got it out of a creek
Jonathan Ricketts i got one from a creek the other day but something was wrong with the water and it died but im moving my aquarium to my dads so ima do like a 90% water change then maybe buy another
Yeah that’s probably a good idea
Jonathan Ricketts is a 55 gallon big enough?
Well yes but no, in captivity that should be fine but the length they get I. Nature would be too big, so what I’m saying is you should be fine with a 55
Bullheads grow slow
Not really, pretty quick till they get to about 8 inches
What gallon tank is that
29 gallons
Oh
How big is he today!?
He’s like 7 inches which is really cool
Jonathan Ricketts nice! I caught one today! He’s right at 3 inches and wanted to see how long I could keep him in my 29G
Wosh i could get one hee in uk.england
Great video, I also like cichlids and I make movies about them, come check my channel or check it ruclips.net/video/1IRvJTfmleE/видео.html ;)
Ok will do
Great video. Please checkout my channel.
Yeah bro will do
what do u feed it?
Bloodworms and redworms
@panfriedd Dude, even if it was, don't do that. It's an animal, and it needs to eat a proper diet. Bloodworms are easily available at your local fish store, and they even come in little pots that you would find food pellets in.
@panfriedd You are aware that bullheads are predators, correct? Also, your dog-food argument is meaningless. Just because a person eats cheesecake doesn't mean they can live off of it
@panfriedd Ah yes, because bullheads stay at the fry stage their whole life... Just to be clear, dog food =/= algae and insects
@panfriedd what's my problem? dude you're trying to take a bullhead catfish and feed it commercial bottom feeder pellets. just feed it minnows or worms or something. i bet youre gonna try and keep it in a 30 gallon
What do you feed them?
The bass with worms the catfish with bloodworms and the Cichlid eats the bloodworms
@@jonathanricketts3838 I cached 4 bullheads today and put them in my aquarium so I was wondering what to feed them so you think blodworms?
Yes definitely
@@jonathanricketts3838 thanks! And what you think about catfish pallets?
If they sink they might be good if not I wouldn’t but that is just a personal preference
