Catfish Snack Time!

UPDATE: This is my pet black bullhead catfish, Cat Stevens, enjoying a delicious snack! Since so many people have asked, here are a few facts about him:

• I did not buy him. I caught him at a creek near my house when he was about half an inch long.
• He eats nightcrawlers(worms), crickets, minnows and other small fish, blood worm pellets, and fish flakes.
• He quickly out grew the tank he was filmed in(a ten gallon) and now resides in my downstairs bath tub. He is currently about eight inches long.
• If you plan on keeping other fish with a black bullhead, don't become attached to the other fish. Catfish are very hard on their tank mates and if they aren't big enough to eat another fish, they will likely chase and harass it until is dies from stress.

I also have another smaller black bullhead in Cat Stevens old tank now. His name it Pete. I'll upload a video of him one of these days.

I now have a new yellow bullhead from today, and what's really strange is that he ate a handful of fish flake on the very first day! Does anyone now what's going on?

@youngoutdoorsman2001 My bullheads eat flakes every now in then too. It's good to give them a varied diet. :)

@sonicxlc123 He ended up living in a spare bathtub set up like an indoor water garden. :)

u scared by worm?

[shadowems]

You ask because I'm using tweezers? Hardly, I dig them up myself. ;) Just easier to hold them with tweezers.

cool catfish and if you feed it minnows it will grow fatter because ive raised yellow belly bullheads

trawl through snake grass along the base of pylons in most southern lakes with a pool net, youll catch a little one.

@batstarwars2 I know you asked this a month ago and you might have already found the answer. But, catfish are not only the easiest fish to take care of, but definitely one of the easiest organisms to take care of. I will tell you why. They're nearly impossible to kill. I mean if you stab them of physically harm them they could die. But they can live up to 48 hours without water. They can live weeks without food. And if you don't feed them, they can live happily off of algae from the tank..
