Brown Bullhead Catfish
Brown bullhead are a small catfish species typically covered in a light mottling pattern. While the coloration can be highly variable, they typically have four pairs of brown barbels, a large rounded anal fin, and pectoral spines with 5-8 sharp serrations.
About This Species
Brown bullheads can tolerate high water temperatures and low dissolved oxygen levels that would be lethal to most other game fish. Having a highly developed sense of smell and touch, bullheads are well-equipped to negotiate murky waters and find food.
