I've caught many but never kept any. I've now added a few to both tanks. Tanin tank (40 ga) now has 3 creek chubs and 1 bluehead, all about 3" long. Small desk tank (6 ga) has six blueheads? of various small sizes. I'll move them to the 40 as they get bigger. Any special considerations I need to be aware of? I've heard they're pretty easy.

The only fish my Blueheads ever gave trouble to was a Creek Chubsucker. And I think that had more to do with the timid nature of the chubsucker than anything the blueheads did. Kept the Blueheads with many different shi
