Brown Bullhead Catfish.... New edition to the tank.

[Derpeder]

Check out the new edition to the native tank. My brothers and I went fishing and my younger brother Sam caught this.

He's now in my 150 native tank.

They never poked me. but they got my brother. Thats why I hold it under the belly. Nice and soft. and don't grip it. If it swims let it swim out of your hand.

they are very unique feeling though. really soft.

He's beautiful.

We have a black bullhead (about 7 inches now) in our 125g and he's now eating out of our hand. Very cool fish.

Man guys........sad day..........

That catfish jumped out of my tank on saturday night.

I've been trying to catch one of these guys for a while now and he seemed to be doing good in the tank. But he jumped out. Lid down and he jumped right through it.

Honestly I don't think I've ever been so bummed in this hobby.

Totally Lame.

For all you that have them. Take note. He was about 8" and was strong enough to jump through the lid...
