I've had this cat in my tank for about 3-4 months and i got it from the previous owner who had it Idk how long. He's around 5 inches and heres a pic!

What type of cat is he?

Wow I have no idea but I like it. His face makes me think channel cat, but it can't be with that pattern.

First guess would be one of the North American cats, like a madtom or something like that. Check the US Fish & Wildlife website.

Looks like a species of Bullhead; Marbled or Brown Bullhead maybe?

 

[Gruntking]

IT looks like a brown bullhead to me but hes more silver and black than brown.

IT might be a hybrid of some sort as well, the owner could have caught him fishing one of our canals and kept him, i didnt ask when i bought the tank :/

Can't be madtom. Adipose is not fused to caudal fin. I second channel. Don't know what type, but it sure looks like a channel cat to me.

Is the Caudal Fin forked? Looks like a Mottled Channel Cat
