Who here has kept or is keeping any catfish that can live (Meitner for part or the entirety of their life) in saltwater? Such as columbian shark cats, hardheads, gafftopsails, etc?
Are you serious bro?! Where the heck could you get ahold of one, I'd setup an entire salt tank just for this fish if I could get one!Kept the striped eel-tail stinging catfish (Plotosus lineatus). They're commonly sold as coral catfish.
lol, wish I could catch oneView attachment 1025969
They are common in the Gulf, I caught this one off a pier last night in Galveston. Hardy little buggers, kept hitting my bait all night while fishing for red.
I'm pretty sure I caught one of them twice.

This must be Ariopsis felis. That and gafftopsail (Bagrus marinus), both voracious feeders, are caught in Naples regularly too http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=39382&hilit=+marinusThey are common in the Gulf, I caught this one off a pier last night in Galveston.

Coral cats are very common in the trade. Even PetCo carries them. They can be bought for around $10 - $20.Are you serious bro?! Where the heck could you get ahold of one, I'd setup an entire salt tank just for this fish if I could get one!
