Catfish & Bullhead Information

The Bullhead or Catfish is the most common member of the catfish family. Catfish
are named for the long feelers on their faces that look like cat whiskers.
Bullheads are brown above and yellow below. They can grow to twenty inches long.
All catfish have sharp barbs on their pectoral fins that inject poison when they
jab an enemy. To people, catfish "stings" are no worse than insect bites.
Remember, it is their fin barbs that sting, not their whiskers.

Bullhead catfish will eat anything from snails to aquatic plants. They rarely
come near the surface and, because of their muddy coloring, are hard to detect
in the water. But in the spring thousands of spawning bullheads can be seen
crowding the shallow of lake-feeding streams. Here the females lay their eggs in
a sand nest. The males fertilize the eggs. Both males and females guard the eggs
and also the hatched fry. Then the father takes charge and teaches the baby
bullheads how to find food and avoid danger.
