I am glad you used caution after seeing a catfish that big in your local
lake when you were a kid. I bet the catfish in the first picture will
swallow a kid and not even burp afterwards!

When i was a child, we had a cottage on a lake near the thousand islands
in
New York. I watched some guys pull a catfish that big out of their boat. I
was very leary after that to swim in that lake.

I have always loved catfish (I keep a few different synodontis in my

8" full size range that I could attempt to spawn in my pond... They
need
to
be able to tolerate temperatures around 68 to 70 degrees. They also
need
to
be able to coexist w/ south/central american cichlids like texas
cichlid
or
jaguar cichlid (that might be pushin it!). Would Raphael cats work?


I don't think this is the size you have in mind, but here's a way to get
some for free:
