In fact, he's in there with goldfish as well. The key is to make sure that the catfish is kept well fed. http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/o/rockcat/pond/pond.htm |

I've not had any problems. The koi are much too big for him to eat, and even if he decided to munch on a goldfish, I'm not concerned about them because they breed like rats. |
