Any big cats suitable for this set up?

Hi Guys,

Are there any big cats that would be suitable to go into a 6' long x 4' wide x 2' deep indoor pond? I'm looking at the lower end of the temperature range around the 20C / 68F mark give or take a few degrees.

About 350 gallons, you could probably temporarily house a native species such as channel cat. They will do better in the cooler temps. You should be able to keep in in there for a couple years or so.

Maybe I asked the wrong question looking at the cats you guys keep on here. Maybe I should say, what are the largest cats that could comfortably live in that size their entire life?

If it was heated it would be different the tempature limits you to coldweather fish.

Maybe a bolt catfish or a bullhead catfish. Crocodile catfish.

I used this by the way: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/search.php

I think the bullhead is your best bet.

a smaller bagarius sp would be perfect!

Agreed ^

I left those out because they like fast flowing water.

u could compensate with a powerhead pointing towards the fish. would cost you very few bucks.
