This one was gut hooked unfortunately and died. He appeared to have mottling appear as it died but there was no mottling beforehand. Bullheads+_5_.JPG

If maxillary barbels (at corner of mouth) have light front edge and dark rear, and chin barbels are all light, then they're most likely flats.

I can usually tell if they are flats pretty easily but these two kinda look like they could go both ways.
