By larger I mean, 6+ inches, as opposed to small fry. I have never actually caught and obtained a small bullhead fry in a minnow trap or net myself, but your net does sound plenty large enough. As far as netting the fish, I was just trying to give you information on what I think the best time would ...

SO try at night using a large dip net in the edge of a oxbow lake and hope I dont dip up a cottonmouth :shock: .

Do you think it is good to try to catch the large masses of baby catfish that school together? Would it be very hard to catch them with a long handled wide net with say a little stink ...

You can have a bluegill and bullhead co-exist fine, it's just that you want to make sure that the bluegill isn't big enough to eat the bullhead (if you have a large bluegill and bullhead fry) and vice versa. Besides that they'll be good tankmates. As far as when to catch them, obviously catfish are ...

If the dip net doesn't work. A worm on a hook with a few weights down about 8-12 inches should work. That's the setup I used when fishing for carp at my grandpa's and I seemed to get nothing but bullheads. I'm not gonna complain though.

When I turn the light off, he goes on to normal business. I ...

The 55 I have the Oscar in right now is plent big enough just for him, in the future I'd like to have him in a larger tank and of course the tinfoil barbs will have to get a larger tank also. I was just curious on good tankmates for the fish, so I can plan on what tank size I need to upgrade to. I ...

Haha. Wow, I have to say, I've never seen anybody make a totally random joke that gave no information at all. That was pretty funny though.

I already posted this once in another category but it might have been the wrong place since I got no response.

I currently have 2 tanks right now. A 55 gal. and a 30 gal.
In the 55, I have an Oscar, about 10" right now. The 30 gal. has some Tinfoil barbs, they are about 3-4" right now. I'd really ...

In the 55, I have an Oscar, about 10" right now. The 30 gal. has some Tinfoil barbs, they are about 3-4" right now. I'd really like to get some catfish in both of them. I just need some suggestions. I'm not really interested in any corys or ...
