Well I do not see a black spot on the base of dorsal fin and there are some dark pigments on the chin whiskers make me think of Florida brown bullhead.

I agree. Based on the lack of a dorsal blotch and the dark colored chin barbels and mottling, I think this is a brown.

Sounds good to me I think its good looking. Any tips on food I tried pellets and bloodworms and no luck.

Never saw the dark places on those chin barbels before. I was wrong.

It certainly is a very good-looking fish.

Left to my devices, I'd have guessed snail, too. Glad to be able to come here and find people who can help you figure things out.

Were the bloodworms dried or frozen? If dried, you may want to try frozen instead. Chopped up pieces of raw cocktail shrimp or fish might also work. You should be able to get it trained onto the pellets eventually though.

I don't think any self respecting bullhead would pass up night crawlers, or even the red worms under rocks in the yard. Don't use the commercially raised red worms, they are slightly toxic.
