Identify this catfish of mine (pics)
Hello there I purchased this catfish a couple of days ago and the guy at the petstore didn't really haver any info to give me except that in about 3-4 years or so it'll grow to be 7-8 inches long. From the pics below, can anyone identify this catfish and maybe give me some more info about it? Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like a species of bullhead from the pictures.

Thanks Kristin. It may be illegal to sell natives depending on what state you live in.

I see, well I live in Wisconsin and have sometimes caught some brown/yellow bullhead while fishing. The face and body looks similar its just the colors that had me thrown off. Guess I'll have to move him to a bigger tank before he starts to get to big and starts eating my white clouds!

Looks like a spotted bullhead. Should get around 9-10" max.
