but looks like he was mistreated

Channel cat would have a forked tail and Bullhead will not.

Sorry but your wrong, you can see this catfish's fins are shorted. This is one of your average channel catfish. Its possible his fins were burned or destory from high ammonia or fungus, you can see misshapen fins all over on this channel catfish. Bullhead should have bulky head and this catfish also has long anal fin which most bullhead species seems lack of it except the yellow bullhead. This catfish is about lost his juvie spots and become adult which is classic in channel catfish.
