It showed up after some plants where rearranged in my 100 gallon tank the plants came from a near by damn. Several weeks earlier I grapped a couple plants while on a fishing trip"as I often due".the plants became in need of mantance during this I decided to move some plants he was down inside a massive root base to some sort of water lily .the area is known for channell cat but I have some experience with channel cat and this isn't looking right.its about 2 cm long also dorsal fin runs the length of its back and connects to tail .its brownish with cream underside.any help would be great.

Hehe, it took awhile to see there is a fish in there...looks like a madtom look at the juveniles in the link. Or one of the other species of Noturus (madtoms)
