Yellow Bullhead s are a smaller catfish and have a slightly rounded tail. They are yellowish brown above and bright yellow to white underneath. Catfish have four barbels ("whiskers") that hang from the lower jaw, two from each corner of the mouth and two from the top of the head near the mouth. The four barbels ("whiskers") on the underside of the jaw of the Yellow Bullhead are whitish. This distinguishes it from the Brown Bullhead which has blackish barbels.
