I should think that a 5,000,000 gallon butt would be kept quite clear by
keeping giant catfish in it...

Bit of a delay in your post coming through on my feed, Rusty.
Already admitted to typing error.[sb 5000 gal(c)]

Ah - reply sent before your amendment arrived.

How big is this fish ?

Well, it's not any individual fish, you understand: you feed a smaller
one up to gianthood.

If it would fit a could give it a try but I would need some advice on food
for it.

Oh, small ones can be got, but I think only certain species grow really
big. ISTR that some of the Mercadian ones may reach twelve or fifteen
feet, but I've no doubt you'd get a more impressive estimate if you
asked a Texan.

Already got 200 goldfish (separate place) - I wonder if it would be happy
with the odd bag of same food occasionally.

They're bottom-feeders. This means they feed on the bottom of the river
or water-butt, not through their bottom, BTW.
