Wow! How big is that tank? You should do a write-up on it, species list, interactions, experiences. That bullhead sure looks like he's enjoying himself.

edit:
I read your list that you supplied in your intro post. Good stuff.

2 brown bullhead
1 pumpkinseed sunfish
2 bluegill
1 yellow perch
1 white perch
1 rock bass
1 largemouth bass
1 fathead minnow
1 common shiner
1 cutlip minnow
1 pleco (bought from the store)
and a few crawfish

(i think thats it ha ha)

Thanks again for looking.

That is an awesome tank setup. Love the videos. How big is your pleco so far?

Thanks for all your comments!

I got the pleco when he was fairly large. He's probably 8" right now. He's very elusive and doesn't come out when people are around.

The tanks looks very nice and clean.

I'd try smaller feeders though, it looks like they're having to put in some serious work to get them down.

I would but I have gotten smaller feeders for them, and they are still very hungry. I have some other food that I feed the smaller fish but those bullhead and bass need so much. I got 3doz and they are gone in no time!

Do you angle for your fish, or did you catch them other ways?

I angled for most of those fish except for the bullhead they were caught in a minnow trap. And of course the pleco was purchased from a pet store.
