the tadpole madtom ( noturus gyrinus ) is a species of fish in the family ictaluridae .

it is native to canada and the united states .

tadpole madtom

one does not purchase a tadpole madtom . a purchased madtom will surely die . they must be captured fresh . lest they die .

the distribution of the freckled madtom , noturus nocturnus , is similar to that of the tadpole madtom , but they are typically found in riffles or in portions of the stream that have gravel or rocky bottoms .
the tadpole madtom , noturus gyrinus , is the most abundant madtom in the lowland streams and ditches of southeast missouri . it is also found in the creeks and backwaters of the missouri and mississippi rivers . the tadpole madtom is most often collected from quiet waters that have thick growths of submergent plants or accumulations of leaves , sticks and other organic debris .
the tadpole madtom is known from frenchman ' s creek , hitchcock county in nebraska . the presence of it is unintentional in most locations . it is believed that introduced channel catfish and bullhead stock was contaminated with tadpole madtoms .

in the western and northern missouri ozarks , the slender madtom , noturus exilis , is the most common madtom in smalland medium - size streams that have gravel bottoms , clear water and permanent flow . this madtom is scarce in the southern ozarks .
identifying the key component in the tadpole madtom’s venom that makes them more toxic than other catfish he has investigated , wright says that this protein may , ‘be responsible for providing the significant selective advantage observed in this species’ – providing better protection for tadpole madtoms than spines alone .

noturus miurus , the brindled madtom , also inhabits many of the same lowland streams and ditches as the tadpole madtom , and is nearly as common . brindled madtoms are more often found in pools , however . the species also inhabits the spring river system in southwest missouri .
in the southern ozarks of missouri , the ozark madtom , noturus albater , is the most abundant madtom . it thrives in clear , steep streams with strong , permanent flow .

you are unlikely to come across the mountain madtom , noturus eleutherus , or the neosho madtom , noturus placidus . both have very limited distribution in missouri . the mountain madtom has only been collected at four locations in missouri , including 18 specimens collected from the black river and st . francis rivers .
the stonecat , noturus flavus , is the most common madtom in the large streams in the northern ozarks and prairie region . in the headwaters of these streams , it is often replaced by the slender madtom .

conservation and management tadpole madtoms are the most widespread and abundant madtom in minnesota . they have no special conservation status . some anglers use them as bait for largemouth bass or walleye early in the fishing season , but they are not used much commercially .
i cannot wait to get more madtom species . . my black and tadpoles are soo interesting , it makes me want more
the recent inception of minnesota’s clean water legacy program will eventually yield benefits to slender madtom habitats through nutrient and sediment load reductions .

the checkered madtom , noturus flavater , has a similar distribution to that of the ozark madtom , except that it is absent from the st . francis and black rivers . in streams where it co - exists with ozark madtoms , it is generally less abundant . unlike the checkered madtom , it prefers backwaters and margins of quiet pools that offer thick accumulations of leaves , sticks and other organic debris .

introduced populations in washington resulted from the downriver dispersal of fish introduced into idaho rivers ( wydoski and whitney 1979 ) . the tadpole madtom has not been collected from the thames drainage in connecticut ( b . gerrish , personal communication ) . record from a lake near poteau , oklahoma , may be the result of an introduction ( taylor 1969 ) .
hello . i purchased a tadpole madtom recently . i have had him for about 5 days . i have a 10g with a few small fish i found in a local stream . i was worried about him at first but he has found a small clay flower pot i had put into the tank for him and has called it home ever since . i thought he was super stressed because i hadn ' t seen him leave the pot since i put it in , but i found out last night that he comes out the instant i turn off the lights to go to bed . my concern os that i can ' t tell if he is eating . how can i make sure he is getting fed ? i am also thinking about getting a black madtom as i feel it will be more at home in my tank due to the slight current that my filter produces than my tadpole madtom . thanks in advance for the help
thank everyone for the input . i caught my tadpole eating some freeze dried blood worms immediately after lights out . i also have my black madtom now and i believe i caught him nibbling too . both from the surface . supprising ! and i will give both the frozen blood worms and shrimp pellets a try and let you know how it goes . if anyone has something else to say fire away !

unintentional in most locations . it is believed that introduced channel catfish and bullhead stock was contaminated with tadpole madtoms ( linder 1963 ; taylor 1969 ; simpson and wallace 1978 ; wydoski and whitney 1979 ; hartel 1992 ) .
the
tadpole madtom
is one of the smallest madtoms apart from the rarest ; noturus stanauli , is abundant in strong riffles of large creeks and rivers , especially in areas having boulders or large flat rocks . it is one of the most widespread species in the genus and can be found from south west quebec and south east manitoba in canada down to southern florida and texas . it is absent in the appalachian mountains .
the next time you seine bait for a stream - fishing trip , take a look at the occasional small catfish you net . chances are it ' s not a fingerling catfish , but a madtom .

to add to what gerald said , think about frozen blood worms , and high quality sinking pellets ( small ) . they are fairly easy to keep as long as they get a varied diet . don ' t expect too much activity during the day from any madtom . like gerald said , watch body condition .
the neosho madtom has been collected only a few times from the spring river just upstream from kansas - missouri border . you should avoid kick seining where mountain and neosho madtoms are known to occur , and it ' s always important that you correctly identify the species of madtoms so you can release mountain or neosho madtoms .
my tadpole madtoms are always out and about with any worm type food . i even have them taking earthworm flake food that the other fish love . granted i still feed them primarily live blackworms as this is a breeding attempt for a second year ( found a couple fry randomly in the tank last year , but never witnessed any breeding or the such . )

so it seems that the catfish’s venom glands are a significant deterrent to predators , as the largemouth bass were prepared to have a go at spiky tadpole madtoms that had lost their venom glands . wright says , ‘the results imply that in the case of catfish , predator sensitisation and avoidance are disproportionately influenced by the presence of venom glands , rather than the spine itself’ .
because madtoms are so small , it ' s difficult to avoid their tiny , sharp spines , especially if you are trying to impale them on a fishing hook . many describe the pain that comes from being
horned
by a madtom as similar to a bee sting . others claim it to be much worse . it ' s best to handle madtoms carefully .
tadpole madtoms live in both still water and flowing streams , so moderate current will not bother him . feed him immediately before the lights go out ( or after ) , so the food is fresh when he comes looking for it . over time he might learn to come out in the daytime too . some nocturnal fish do , some don ' t . body shape will tell you if he ' s getting enough food .
madtom adipose fins form a low , keel - like ridge that either connects to the tail fin or has only a slight notch between it and the tail fin . on larger catfish , the adipose fin is free and more widely separated from the tail fin . the genus to which madtoms belong , noturus , means
back tail ,
referring to this distinctive connection of the adipose and tail fin .
i agree with drew ' s frozen bloodworm link above . your local fish store probably has a freezer just for them , ask and they ' ll tell you . also , the vegetably sinking wafer probably wasn ' t appetizing to the madtom . use a meatier sinking pellet . it ' s usually easy to find ones designed to feed carnivorous cichlids . i ' ve used wardley® shrimp pellets in the past . image :
marc , it had small gills , but they weren ' t feathery as you would expect , which the tiger salamander larve seems to be close , but it should have started with the spots by this point i would think . anyways , i will be going back to the same spot tomorrow , if i find antoehr , i will get much better images , and hopefully some madtom images and madtoms to bring home !
like all catfish in missouri , madtoms belong to the family ictaluridae . like their bigger cousins , madtoms have eight whiskers or barbels - - four on their upper jaw and four on their lower jaw . like all missouri catfish , madtoms have scaleless skin . a madtom ' s adipose fin - - a fleshy , rayless lobe behind the dorsal fin - - is different from the adipose fin of other catfish , however .
i have an adult brindled madtom that i feed various food items through a double length drinking straw . small minnows , bits of shrimp , shrimp pellets , blood worms , etc . i ' ve also fed him minnows ( yoy quillback lately ) and crickets by hand . i have northern longear sunfish in the tank with him , so i have no choice but to give him food directly , otherwise he ' d never get a bite .
where do they live ? tadpole madtoms are found throughout minnesota in streams , river , lakes , and other areas of quiet water over soft bottoms . they often occur in relatively shallow water ( 1 - 2 m deep ) that may be clear to somewhat turbid ( cloudy ) . they are attracted to underwater vegetation and other types of plant debris , such as tree branches and leaves . this fish often is found with white suckers , central stonerollers , creek chubs , common shiners , and black bullheads .

the native range of noturus gyrinus is confined to north america in the atlantic and gulf slope drainages from new hampshire to east texas , the st lawrence river and great lakes , the mississippi basin from southern quebec to southern saskatchewan , and south to the gulf of mexico . the species does not occur in the appalachians and ozarks , being confined to lower gradient waters . there are non - native populations in nebraska , in the columbia river in washington , and in the snake and boise rivers in idaho and oregon . populations in new hampshire and massachusetts are considered non - native .
how big do they get ? how long do they live ? this small fish grows to a maximum length of about 115 mm ( 4 . 5 in ) and a weight of about 17 g ( 0 . 5 oz ) . the usual life span is 2 years , but very rarely one lives for 3 years .
what do they eat ? this private , bottom - dwelling fish feeds mostly at night when it comes out of its daytime hiding places . it eats mostly aquatic insect larvae , waterfleas and other small crustaceans , and worms . occasionally it consumes snails , fish eggs , and smaller fish .
what eats them ? many sport fishes , including walleyes , largemouth bass , and large bluegills eat them , especially in lakes . because of their small size , humans do not eat them .

noturus is a genus in the family ictaluridae . ictalurids are found in north and central america east of the rockies from canada to guatemala . noturus is the largest group in this family and they are found in many states , including minnesota .
life colors : dark axial streak conspicuous ; dorsal , anal , and caudal fins not dark - edged ; lower lip and chin not heavily speckled with dark pigment ( hubbs et al . 1991 ) .
counts : 6 - 7 gill rakers ; 6 - 7 dorsal rays ; 15 - 18 anal rays ; 8 ( 7 - 9 ) pectoral rays ; 9 ( 8 - 10 ) pelvic rays ( ross 2001 ) .
body shape : body heavy , round , and potbellied anteriorly ( rarely elongate ) ; strongly compressed posteriorly ( becker 1983 ) .
mouth position : terminal ; jaws nearly equal ( hubbs et al . 1991 ) .
external morphology : pectoral fin spine not serrated ; adipose fin joined to the caudal fin or separated from it by not more than a shallow notch ( hubbs et al . 1991 ) . small eyes ; anal fin moderately long , length of base going into sl 3 . 9 - 5 . 9 times ; anal fin base becomes proportionately shorter with increasing body length ( ross 2001 ) . breeding males have enlarged muscles on top of the head , swollen lips , and enlarged genital papillae ( whiteside and burr 1986 ) .
internal morphology : ratio of digestive tract ( dt ) to total length ( tl ) : dt 1 . 0 - 1 . 4 tl ; intestine well differentiated ; peritoneum colorless ; pyloric caeca not present ( goldstein and simon 1999 ) . numerous small , sharp , or peglike teeth in broad bands on upper and lower jaws ; tooth patch on upper jaw without elongate , lateral backward extensions ( becker 1983 ) .
u . s . distribution : ranges widely east of the rocky mountains , except in upland streams draining the appalachian mountain chain ( hubbs et al . 1991 ) .
populations in the southern united sates are currently secure ( warren et al . 2000 ) . often abundant where found ( rohde 1980 ) .
macrohabitat : medium to large rivers , lakes , reservoirs , sloughs ( becker 1983 ) .
typically inhabits quiet or slow - moving waters , especially over soft , muddy bottom with extensive vegetation ( rohde 1980 ) . tolerates at least a moderate amount of salinity , as mansueti and hardy ( 1967 ) reported species from the tidal portions of virginia rivers . holder and ramsey ( 1972 ) collected specimens from dark , stained water with a ph of 4 . 5 . according to machniak and gee ( 1975 )
individuals gulp air to inflate swimbladder , thereby gradually increasing buoyancy as water flow declines ; volume of air in swimbladder may be reduced over several days , when flows increase , decreasing buoyancy and facilitating ability to maintain position in a stream .
spawning season : in southern mississippi , spawning takes place in april ( clark 1978 ) . spawning reported in missouri and mississippi during june or july ( rohde 1980 ) . in more northern areas , spawning happens late spring through august ( case 1970 ; mahon 1977 ; whiteside and burr 1986 ) ; june and july in wisconsin ( becker 1983 ) .
spawning location : may use discarded glass or metal containers for nesting sites , or excavate one in gravel , usually under stones , boards or logs ( wang and kernehan 1979 ) ; crayfish burrows , holes in mud , and under roots ( mansueti and hardy 1967 ) .
reproductive strategy : speleophils ; hole nesters ( simon 1999 ) . little formal nest preparation ; eggs deposited in clusters ( mansueti and hardy 1967 ) . according to menzel and raney ( 1973 ) females may mate several times during the breeding period . wang and kernehan ( 1979 ) reported that both parents help to guard and care for the eggs in the nesting site ; fish move over egg mass in a shivering motion , anal fin in contact with eggs , or take a portion of egg mass into their mouth and spit it out . taylor ( 1969 ) noted that egg - guarding individuals are in most cases male .
fecundity : in lower mississippi , clutches averaged 61 eggs , with 3 . 7 mm diameter ( clark 1978 ) ; in illinois , clutches averaged 151 eggs , with 1 . 95 mm diameter ( whiteside and burr 1986 ) . in delaware , number of fertilized eggs in a nest ranges from 93 - 150 ( wang and kernehan 1979 ) . in mississippi , average clutch of 61 eggs , mature eggs averaging 3 . 7 mm diameter ( clark 1978 ) ; females in illinois , of the same general size as specimens collected by clark ( 1978 ) , produced more and smaller eggs , average number of mature ova per female 151 , with mean egg diameter of 1 . 95 mm ; fertilized eggs demersal , adhesive , average 2 . 96 mm in diameter , and are light yellow - orange ( whiteside and burr 1986 ) .
age / size at maturation : 1 or 2 years ( hooper 1949 ; rohde 1980 ; whiteside and burr 1986 ) . mature adults range from 50 - 76 mm
migration : maximum reported movement was 2 . 1 km over a 13 week period in a
growth and population structure : specimens from a study in illinois reached 40 - 52 mm sl in the first year , 49 - 64 mm sl after second , 54 - 71 mm sl after third , and 58 - 76 mm sl after fourth . some populations show males with higher growth rates than females ( whiteside and burr 1986 ) . in missouri streams , individuals attain length of about 30 - 56 mm by end of first summer ( pflieger 1997 ; rohde 1980 ) . by 15 . 5 mm tl , rays are developed in all fins except anterior region of caudal fin ; at this size , fish closely resemble adults ( wang and kernehan 1979 ) .
longevity : may live as long as 4 years , but most populations only have 10 % older then two years ( hooper 1949 ; rohde 1980 ; whiteside and burr 1986 ) .
this species is a host to the glochidia for the mussels actinonaias carinata and lampsilis radiata luteola ( becker 1983 ) .
one of the more venomous catfishes , having toxic sheath ( apparently with neurotoxic and haemotoxic elements ) covering dorsal and pectoral spines ; threatened fish will arch back and erect spines , increasing its effective size to predator and exposing sharp spines ; effect on humans has been compared to bee stings ; toxin deters most predators ( case 1970 ; birkhead 1972 ; whiteside and burr 1986 ) .

great point ! this is a great way to feed bottom dwellers , though i have always used larger clear tubing .
to add to what gerald said , think about frozen blood worms , and high quality sinking pellets ( small ) .
when you say frozen blood worms , do you mean freeze dried blood worms . because i have some of those and tried to feed him some of em last night . and in regards to sinking pellets , i have some wafers for algae eaters , and i figured id try em to see if he liked em . not suprisingly he did not seem interested . so what sort of sinking foods can you ( or anyone reading this ) reccomend ? thanks !
don ' t listen to irate mormon here . my first native fish ever were orange throated darters that i ' d purchased off of aquabid to eat my snails , and they did just fine .
one should always listen to im . . . its entertaining . . . but i agree with the other posters above . . . shrimp pellets are a good food for madtoms . . . it takes a while for them to dissolve on the bottom of the tank and the ' smell ' brings out the madtoms . . . it is a good prepared food to switch them over to . . . and yes frozen foods at your lfs are even more likely to be taken from a wild fish . . . and i will say that one should definitely be getting out into nature and collecting ones own fish ( whenever you are able and wheerever it is legal ) . you will learn much more about your fish by visiting his natuve habitat .

all posts regarding the care and breeding of catfishes from other parts of the world ( north america , europe and australia ) . if you don ' t know where your catfish is from , post a query in the identification category .
lou : every young man ' s fantasy is to have a three - way .
lets see if they all worked , the video is of the tank in general , the madtoms are hard to get pictures of , and as of yet , i don ' t feel comfortable holding them for rivers edge shots . . . i am working on it though !
i couldn ' t agree more , my five quickly became favorites of mine . . . i was lucky enough to get some that were collected by others on this trip
i don ' t feel comfortable holding them for rivers edge shots . . . i am working on it though !
with my hand . . . i just don ' t think this is a good move .
i think the whole
catching your own fish
really makes you appreciate them more . i mean i really appreciate my other fish , but these us native fish i take the time and the whelts of gathering them ( hit poison ivy , bruised my tailbone , dislocated my finger all happened while collecting them myself ! ! )
it is my favorite part of this wide and wonderful hobby . funny how a
free
fish you collected yourself becomes more valuable than something you paid $ 50 for at a pet store .
my journey is at an end and the tale is told . the reader who has followed so faithfully and so far , they have the right to ask , what do i bring back ? it can be summed up in three words . concentrate upon uganda .
winston churchill , my african journey
if only we had some worthwhile species in the uk . . . actually we do have , but not many that can be realistically kept . ( & no cats ) bullhead , gudgeon , stone loach have all proved interesting
- they do grow way too big and are not legal to keep , but they are
available
in the country .
on a side note what is it you are referring to as bullheads . . . . european bullhead , cottus gobio ?
cottus gobio would be my interpretation - and we discussed those at the pc day out a few days ago . . . - - mats
they are kept in a portion of my appartment i keep the windows open 24 / 7 . right now the temp ranges from 69 in the morning to 74 by mid afternoon . i am still trying to find things to lure them out of hiding .
- they do grow way too big and are not legal to keep , but they are

went to a new local today , and didn ' t find anything catfish related , but did catch some other neat fish ! just wanted to sshare them with you guys ( and an amphibian for id if anyone is good with them . . . . )
