Each has a deeply forked tail. In

lies to the rear along the under

this fin has from 25 to 30 rays. The

Catfish closely resemble the Blue
Catfish. As the name implies, the
Blue Catfish is blue to slate-col

are frequently darker than the
other portions.
Blue Catfish breed in June or
July when the water reaches a
temperature of 70 to 75 degrees F
A nest is made in an excavation
under a protecting shelf of some
sort. The eggs appear in gelatinous
masses and a fish weighing two
pounds may lay about 5,000 eggs.
In from 6 to 10 days, the eggs
hatch. By the end of the first sum
