I've finally got my wild caught Cottus Gobio(Bullheads)! They have been with me for 3 days now and are feeding on frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp and daphnia. I have 3, 2 males 1 female, and they are living happily in a coldwater set-up with a full aeration system to keep the oxygen levels up. Despite having the spines to protect themselves they don't actually hurt when you catch them and are quite tame. If I need to sort the aeration system out I put my hand in the tank and they playfully swim around my hand and chase each other around. They are actually quite playful but there is still the fact that they are predatory and I have had one bite me but the aren't big enough to do any damage. I'll try and get some pictures up when I have time.
I also nearly got a wild caught Weather Loach as well because the person catching the Bullheads saw one and nearly caught it by hand.
 
I now have 1 female 2 males and the female is paired with a male. They have chosen an upturned plant pot to nest in.
