Albino bullhead

[Anthony Nolet]

Has anyone ever seen one? I've only ever seen one albino thing at the river and it was a tadpole. But that is definitely my dream fish, an albino yellow bullhead or any color morph I guess. Piebald would be cool too. This was the closest thing I found on the internet. I can't believe they didn't keep it but I guess some people aren't into keeping fish for whatever crazy reason lol.

That's a yellow bullhead, they can be yellowest in some conditions. They will revert back to normal. Albino bullheads are extremely rare and uncommon because of other predatory fishes. Bass, pikes, walleyes, perches and sunfish will hammering hard on YOY (young of year) bullheads.

+1, that's just a plain yellow bullhead, I have them that vibrant in my local creek. every single one you pull up is that color.

I just said that's the closest thing to white lol but ever year I find a bunch of fry with a parent fish and I want to take them all and raise them in case there's an albino and release all the others in someone's pond (legally)

bullheads are easy to keep haha, buy an intex pool at walmart for 80 bucks, fill the bottom with pool filter sand, add some hiding spots and collect all the fry haha

Albino bullhead or flathead would be my dream fish as well but as MN said they're extremely rare because of predation on juveniles. Only reason there's albino channel cats is because of selective breeding. If you ever find a true albino and don't want it though just PM me lol .

Pfffffffft like I'd ever get rid of a color morph fish hahah unless you had a different one to trade for!

If I can find someone who's okay with me adding a bunch of catfish to their pond then I'm definitely doing it lol.

I don't have anywhere to put a big pool full of catfish lol. What do you feed those super small guys? Like 1/4" and smaller? Up until like 1" actually. Maybe I'll convince someone to let me put a pond out back!
