Has anyone ever seen a brown bullhead with black spots on the top 1/2 of the body? I caught one yesterday with black spots on its back and side.

I have seen browns kind of mottled on top, but not truly spotted. In Georgia, maybe a snail bullhead or a spotted bullhead? There are pictures here: http://www.planetcat...php?family_id=5

Do you mean black blotches, if so then yes. Brown bullhead typically have a mottled apperance with different shades of brown, some very dark. Perhaps you mean black spot disease though, in that case...also yes, I have seen brown bullhead with that as well. Black spot disease looks like ich except with black spots rather then white.

The spots are on the head and back, and they look like the black spots on a young channel cat.

If you mean a splotch of black on the fish, some of my yellow bullheads have that.
