blue catfish

[MN_Rebel]

ok thanks, I just get upset about someone suggest to release the fish in the waterways once they get too big.

 

[Noto]

Yeah, that's definitely not cool. Especially now with all the disease issues.

Don't release fish into the wild. It's illegal and irresponsible. Try and find a suitable home for it instead. Always have a backup plan.

do you mean this?

may i ask why the interest in blue cats? they get massive and are not suitable for tank life except at bass pro shops. if you realllllllllly want to keep one, get a VERY large pond and it can have no pondmates.

 

[MN_Rebel]

Dont worry about OP this is old thread anyways.

if you have a chance to get a blue cat get him they are awsome crazy for food. flatheads are just cool they dont do much in a tank. i get my baby cats on accident because i catfish for big blues and flatheads in the ohio river so i get them accident when i throw a cast net to get my shad

 

[Bluecatmatt32]

dont even attempt to keep one but you can catch them

Channel Catfish
(Ictalurus punctatus)

Blue Catfish

(Ictalurus furcatus)

Both get too large for (Normal) Home aquariums, but either can be kept for awhile, but will need larger housing at some point, or get the slaw and hush-puppies ready

eating anything that fits in their mouth is a standard for cats
