What kind of catfish?
My sister's house has a pond and I caught some baby catfish on accident with a net. They're about an inch to an inch and a half long, pinkish orange color with yellow irises in their eyes, and they have black whiskers (two on the top of their head, two on the sides of their head, and four on their chin). Any idea what kind of catfish they are? My sister just bought the property and wasn't aware that there were catfish in the pond.
They aren't koi, koi aren't legal where I live. They're definitely catfish. We're thinking brown bullhead catfish? We were told that's the most common kind in Maine.

Your fish is eiher a common bullhead catfish or a common channel catfish. If the taqil is forked, its a channel, if its rounded, then you've got yourself a bullhead. Toss it back in the pond. No way its a koi. Kois have barbles, not whiskers.
