Reproduction
Black bullheads will start to spawn in April and continue through June. The females will scoop out a small hole or depression in the lake floor and will lay anywhere from 2000 to 6000 eggs. The males fertilize the eggs, then care for them. When the eggs hatch a week later, both parents will watch over the fry for a short while.
