The bullhead minnow is widespread and common in the Houston
area. The only other minnows that are more common are the
blacktail and red shiners. I've never collected bullhead
minnows in huge numbers; however, they appear to occur in at
least moderate numbers in virtually every river, stream and
bayou in the area.
