Blue Cat vs. Channel Cat

[Jedburton]

THIS JUST GOES ALONG WITH THE LAST REPLY TO YOUR POST. ALTHOUGH THE TWO CATFISH YOU HAVE THERE ARE DIFERENT COLORS THE BASE YELLOWISH COLOR OF THE CHANNEL CAT IS STILL THERE IN BOTH. ALSO AS CHANNEL CATS GET LARGER THEY USUALLY GET DARKER. BLUE CATS HAVE A LITTLE DIFFERENT WITH VERY LITTLE TO NO UNDERLYING YELLOW COLOR. THEY ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY BLUE WITH WHITE TO GREY UNDERTONES LIKE THE PICTURE POSTED SHOWS. ALSO THERE IS A SLIGHT SHAPE DIFFERENCE. HERE ARE A BUNCH OF THE PICTURES I FOUND. ALSO THERE IS A COLOR DIFFERENCE IN SOME CHANNELS THAT MAKES THEM MORE BLUE/GREY AND THESE ARE SOMETIMES CALLED BLUE CHANNEL CATS. THEY AREN'T A DIFFERENT SPECIES, JUST A DIFFERENT COLORATION. I COULD ONLY FIND ONE PICTURE OF A BLUE CHANNEL, BUT IT IS PRETTY YOUNG, BUT SHOWS TO AN EXTENT THE COLORATION DIFFERENCE,

P.S. I AM NO EXPERT OF COURSE, BUT FROM WHAT I COULD RESEARCH THERE ARE NO TRUE BLUE CATFISH IN UTAH, JUST BLUE CHANNEL CATS.
