Tank/Pond 1 List
4 Ictalurus punctatus (channel Cat) 36 inches
2 Megalodoras uranoscopus ( giant rapheal cat) 28 inches

This is for future reference to see if i can keep a black ghost knife with these catfish,
and the two future tanks will be big enough for catfish and tankmates.

so no one as opinion or facts on this,??????!!

I think that either tank would work, but tank 2 would be a little better than tank 1.

You could put them in either, but the Ghost Knife needs to grow before you put it in the pond. I think it's common sense that you don't put a five inch fish in with one that's thirty-six, regardless of species.

yah knew not to do the size difference was just worried how a healthy adult bgk and fully grown catfish would do together.

I think most of those Cats are fine, but the Channel Cat will grow over 20"-30" on captivity and with a "thin" fish like a BGK that usually grow around 16"-18" in captivity, it may try to eat the BGK especially if the Cat is in the 30"+ range.

tank 1 is a bit risky... the BGK could be eaten... tank 2 is fine though...
