So about a year and a half ago I caught 2 itty bitty catfish in a cup while looking for crayfish. I'd always considered these little dudes to be madtoms. Honestly, I'd never seen them any size but tiny. Well, I kept these two little guys because they're so darn cute and out of nowhere they're 7-8" long. They don't seem to be growing much now, but isn't that a bit big for a madtom (tadpole maybe?) They look almost identical to bullheads. One is yellow and one is super dark brown. It's difficult to get pictures because they rarely come out and when they do it's like the tazmanian devil got loose in my tank.
Any thoughts what I might have?
They were caught in a creek outside Frederick MD if that helps.
