Hey guys,
I got a baby channel catfish that im trying to raise, i didnt know if anyone else keeps them, and if so what pH and water temperature they enjoy, thanks.
 
i keep 3 1" baby albino's and my ph is about 7 ish and temp 76 degrees and they eat everything.
 
Mines about the same... my PH is probably about 7.5, havn't actually tested their tank... oops... temp is around 72. Figure that if they live native in the rivers round here, they are probably use to much colder temps, but they seem happy there, and eat anything I put in there... They are perfect to thin out my guppy populations. ;) They are awesome fish, I think you'll love em. I have an albino and a blue.
 
My ph is 7.5, and temp is 84 F currently. He eats a ton and grows nearly as fast as my RTC. Currently 26"
