Mystery Catfish

[toehead11183]

This catfish came in with an order of ghost shrimp a few months ago. it was less than an inch long when i brought it home. it is now about 2 inches. i've searched everywhere i can to find out what it is. Any ideas as to what this little guy is?

looks like a tadpole madtom to me........... esp if it came in with shrimp

Probably a N. American species that was accidently harvest with the shrimp. Alot of the 'Ghost Shrimp' sold around the country isn't true ghost shrimp, but Grass Shrimp rather that is harvest in mass quantities in southern stats like Florida..
