im in desperate need of finding a madtom cat. we got one by accident with an order of ghost shrimp about 3 years ago when we first set up my daughters tank. she kept it up til last week when it died. shes very upset and i have had no luck finding another. i checked with the wholeseller, bait shops, and every creek around. does anyone know where i could find some?

Tennessee? There are madtoms around. In my fairly limited experience they tend to dwell amongst woody debris in creeks and streams. The question is whether or not you have the right tools to catch them with, such as a seine.

You are in the heart of madtom country. If memory serves, TN has more species of madtoms present than any other state.
