Mantua catfish

[TubeDude]

[#0000FF]A matter of perspective. I addressed the same question to Chris. I was completely unaware that there were bullheads in Mantua. But with the stupid fish tricks perpetrated by the bucket bozos in this state it is possible. After all, it happened in Deer Creek.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]In truth, when I first saw the picture my first guess WAS bullheads. I have seen them do this many times around the country...and especially at Utah Lake. But there is usually a protective adult male bullhead guarding them. As Chris says, young channels will group together for a while after hatching but seldom form the tight balls such as that seen in the picture.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Here are a couple of pics of baby bullheads for comparison.[/#0000FF]
