Do bullheads use their stingers for?

Bullheads, a type of catfish, possess venomous spines in their dorsal and pectoral fins, which they can use for defense against predators. When threatened, they can extend these spines, delivering painful stings to deter attackers. While they primarily rely on camouflage and their aquatic environment for protection, the stingers serve as an additional means of self-defense. The venom is not lethal to humans but can cause significant pain and discomfort.
