I have put up some pictures of the cat after capturing it.

I apologize for the net. I was quite unaware at how big it had become.

Also, the pictures have a bit of a blur. Looked crisp in the viewer...

Also the pictures are big. If you do not have DSL you may not want to
click on the pictures (2 megs each).

So, the catfish has changed its top color and I do not know why. When I
had him in the net it did not look like a fungus, or a growth. It
looked like pigment color change. Do they do this? It does not appear
to be suffering. Eating well, swimming strong... Hanging at the bottom
as usual under a rock until food becomes available.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Will test the water tomorrow..

I came across some info stating that when catfish are exposed to more
light they become lighter in color. has something changed in the
pond...fewer plants...clearer water..maybe the fish in it's larger size
is now getting a bit more light than before?

Not sure about more light as I haven't moved the pond (or the fish to a
new pond for that matter ;-)) But it has been hot in LA and not very
cloudy (read polluted).

So... Thank you for the info.. Will continue to keep an eye on him...

Carl
