Are these fish available somehow? AFAIK, even catching them is illegal due to their endangered status.

Hi Tim Aldridge,

I'm not sure what the laws are in your area about collecting the madtoms. I recommend you reach out to the North American Native Fishes Association, http://www.nanfa.org/. They may be able to help. I know they sponsor local fish collecting trips. I got a pair of speckled madtoms from a friend who collected with NANFA.

By the way, you're in North Carolina? I thought you were in the United Kingdom. That's what your profile says, anyway.

Cheers, Eric
