channey cat fingerlings are so cheap if you buy them from a catfish grower not a pet store. Find a pond stocker and buy as many as you want to grow out in your pond or stock tub then you will not need to breed them. breeding usual occurs in ponds then the eggs are harvested from 55 g drums and hatched in hachery.

i would go with the 2nd link, cheaper, could probably get a decent filter for the difference in price.

would a nice canister filter be okay for 900 gallons? i would hate to buy 3 or 4 hundred dollar plus filters

go with the first one id rather spend an extra 100.00 and some for sumthing like a channel

I go with the second one, it seems more durable and it cheaper.
