The only thing I was going suggest was maybe using drip acclimation.

Edit: If this one does survive and then goes on to thrive in your aquarium, I wouldn't add any more. Being asexual, you soon built a colony. :]

If you have a pond for when they get to big then that's ok. ;) :)
I was worried about the potential growth factor.
I haven't seen that site before, so they must breed bullheads in captivity, which will help with conservation. :)
I don't know why the filtration would be a factor against the pond...do you have filtration in the pond? How "similar" is the water?
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!
