About This Fish

The Bullhead Minnow is found across central North America from Mexico to Minnesota, including the Mobile Basin, Tennessee, and Cumberland river drainages. They live over soft or gravel substrate in a variety of currents in creeks to large rivers. Breeding male Bullhead Minnows develop breeding tubercles, horny projections used in spawning, on their snout.
