Brown Bullhead Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Brown Bullhead in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 150 gallons (for a single adult)
• Compatibility: Best kept alone or with very large, robust, and similarly tempered fish. Avoid small or docile tank mates as they may be preyed upon.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with plenty of hiding spots (caves, driftwood). Substrate should be soft sand or fine gravel to prevent injury to barbels. Excellent filtration is essential due to their messy eating habits. Can be destructive to live plants.
