    Default raising bullheads and gsf/warmouth


    id like to have a forage pond for my flathead cat fishing and these types of fish not only live much longer on a hook than bg crappieor shad but they also can live in harsh conditions of water as they are the onlyones to survive in backwater ponds ect

    anyways im wondering if they could spawn in a above ground pool? im thinking of getting a 15 foot round pool 4 foot deep would the bh's be able t spawn if i added something in the water for them? i know bh's like t dig into the dirt to lay their eggs but curious on what i could add to the water for them to be able to spawn and pellet feed

    Your talking a large fish aquarium. You would need to change the water out often, to avoid them dying off. Don't really think that would work at all. In the end, thinking your just wasting your money.

    Just keeping them alive is going to be a challenge, you're going to need perfect environmental conditions for them to reproduce.
