Blackbullhead is going by the chin barbel color. Hard to see but chances are they are light colored in the OP's picture on the 4th page https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/baby-flathead-catfish.755495/post-8499036

Yellow, as you know, are the only bullhead with lighter colored chin / mandibular barbels.

So I stand corrected too, although I didn't spend any time trying to ID the bullhead species.
Hard to tell lol, I agree it’s not a yellow as they have lighter lower barbels, like my yellow who has white/ light yellow barbels, he also cut his lower gill area and there is like a hole (I have rocks), he gets scared easily and panicks when there are vibrations, I have younger brothers and all they do is run and stomp, any way to treat this? I already put some pond melafix and pond stresscoat

I recommend making a thread in the illness area for your fish so we don’t continually hijack this thread

What you see in the photo are two black nasal barbels and the left black maxillary (upper jaw) barbel and we only guess that the mandibular (chin) barbels are light colored because they are not clearly seen in the photo obscured by the bottom of the photo tank.
