Bullhead Catfish

Ameiurus melas

Size
to 24"

Description
Ameiurus is Greek and means "primitive" or "curtailed" in reference to the slight notch in the caudal fin; melas is also Greek and means "black." Black bullheads are typically black to greenish-black on the back, ranging to gray or white on the belly. However, in muddy water, the back may be yellowish-brown. Chin barbels are dark or black, never white. The anal fin has 17-21 rays.
