I have channel cats in my rec pond. They are grey not golden but I'm sure
they're the same. Channel cats are the only "good" catfish for ponds and
waterways. They don't root around in the mud and stir things up like
koi/carp. They are pretty hardy fish.

Anyone know anything about these critters? One of the local (private) pet
shops has two 18"-ers that they'd like to give to a good home. I think
they'd be OK with my koi, but I'm worried about whether or not they can
take
meds, and what their temp range is. I'd hate to not be able to treat the
pond because of one fish . . .
