Just got a young pair of channel cats (6-7"), and I'm wondering what size tank they'll need in the long run, and also how long it should take for them to finish growing?
Thanks in advance.

Um??? The world record was only 58 pounds.
OP: expect for a fish that gets 30-40 inches long. Usually they average in that range.

roughly 1st year about 1.5' and 5 lbs
2nd year - 2'-2.5' 15-20 lbs
3rd year - 3' ~30 lbs
that how mine went in a 4000 gal indoor pond
in the wild they max out at ~3.5' and up to 60 lbs
they are the most farmed fish in North America for a good reason because they turn 1 lbs of high protein food into 0.5 lbs of body mass in the first year or so!
