Baby Bullheads

So i was out fishing yesterday and i came across a few thousand baby catfish, they wernt any bigger than probably an inch. So i scooped up probably 50 of them and took them home, they are now living in my 25 gallon tank with a small pacu. I have another 60 gallon tank with 2 redears and a 4line pictus catfish that ill be putting a few of them in..when they become big enough.

Now for a few questions.
What would be a good food for them to eat right now?
How fast are they going to grow?
And how big do bullheads get?

Thanks alot.

I think they will eat just about anything.

Bullheads in nature will grow to about 12-24" (30-60 cm) "standard length" (not counting the tail).

- click on the link, and you'll find a list of species that are bullheads, and you may be able to identify the one you've got.

[Moderator hat on: Could you please be a little bit serious about your location - I know other sites allow "anything", but we like to have a location that is at least a state/province in the US, or a country elsewhere. If you like to give more information than that, it would help others know more about you (e.g. suggest local shops that carry stuff you are asking for), but that's as you wish.]

Ah, its that time of year when large black clouds of bullhead cat fry are commonly found. They will never look better than they do at their small size. Pity they don't retain the jet black color.
