I haven't been able to find any conclusive answers! How big do Spotted Bullheads () get? I've heard anywhere from 8" to 24"! Can someone answer, once and for all? :D

Boschung & Mayden (Fishes of 'bama), which may be considered the most authoritative work on the freshwater fishes of the southeastern US, gives a maximum size of 230mm/9" SL.

Okay, thank you very much! Sounds authoritarian enough for me. :D

Well, you're right. I thought they were centimetres...
Next time I'll put my glasses on first

From what I know average size for the Spotted BullHead is 7-9inches long normally but specimens that are well cared for and eat reguarly can get up to around 12inches maybe bigger.

Hope This Helps.

That is one of the websites that has a profile on the spotted bullhead. I thought you might enjoy reading it.
