Its color will depend on the area where it is taken, but it generally is darker than brown or yellow bullheads.

Both the black and brown bullheads can easily be distinguished from the yellow bullhead as the yellow bullhead has white barbels under its mouth.

Ameiurus natalis, also called the "yellow bullhead"

The yellow bullhead though less common, can be easily distinguished from the brown bullhead and black bullhead by its white barbels or "whiskers".

The yellow bullhead is a voracious scavenger that will almost eat anything.

Golden shiners, American eels, fallfish, yellow bullheads, greenside darters and walleyes used to occur in the watershed but no longer do so.

Brown and yellow bullheads are significantly smaller.

The lake also contains largemouth bass, yellow perch, bluegill, yellow bullhead, channel catfish, and small populations of many different unexpected species.

Common fish in the river include black and yellow bullhead, rock bass, golden redhorse, and various species of darters and shiners.

And, again in fresh water, there are no fly-fishing entries for black, yellow and brown bullheads.
