Help Identify My kitties?

[Surgee]

HI i need some help in identifying my catfish at first i thought they were channel cats but they dont have a forked tail? A friend gave them to me when they vere 1 inch long so i dont know where he got them. Any help would be appreciated thatnks.

Sofar they are 9 inches long (there are 3) and i have had them for a year and a half. They are in a 55 is it over stocked?

VERY overstocked I am pretty sure those are bullhead catfish local to most rivers and lakes I would get rid of them asap they will grow way to big!

Yep - bullheads. Expect about 24-30 inches at adulthood. Get them into a pond, stat.

Agree with flower horn, Black bullhead I believe.

Make sure you dont have anything else in that pond or they will eat it!
