Catfish
****A bullhead is an 18 inch catfish
that can weigh over 3 pounds. Its back is a dark yellow-brown,
and their sides are a little black. The underside is a light
brown.
****Bullheads eat at the bottom of
the pond. They have two sets of whiskers on the face. The bottom
whiskers help them find food like insects, worms, and algae.
The upper whiskers tells them what"s going on above.
****In spring time, males clear an
area on the bottom of the pond. The females lay eggs in the nest,
but the male guards them until they hatch into black fry.
****In winter time, bullheads might
bury itself in the mud and leaves along the shoreline. They will
hibernate there until the warmer weather comes back. These are
some things about bullhead catfish.
