Daily ins and outs of Wels care

[knifegill]

That was the old wood-fire-fueled hot-tub. Family dismantled it without my permission when I was at work so I never even got to use it. He's not in there now, now it's a duck pond. I have ten ducks. When Audrey II is big enough I can feed it (him?) baby ducklings as treats!

For now, baby is in 370 gallon above-ground pond. Will winter in 210 gallon tote. Will eventually go into big outdoor pond. Going to train it to eat out of my hand and respond to three taps for food. That way I can call it up from the depths for dinner.

Has already grown a couple of inches. It's crazy how fast it grows! Naming it Audrey II for obvious reasons.

For fishing some people use these http://img.pecheur.com/clonk-black-cat-catfish-deep-water-z-507-50776.jpg maybe that will help. From my understanding it sends signals like Wels Catfish cummunicating with echother.

What is that, Karl? How is it used?

 

[knifegill]

Presumably, whipped through the water, it vibrates and sends a note through the water. Am I wrong?

Not needed though. Wels have amazing hearing and three knocks on the dock will resound well enough.

I have a few and they have been really fun to raise. Mine eat pellets and smelt. Their temps ranges from 78 degrees in the summer to 46 degrees in the winter. A really low maintenance cat that loves to eat!

From my understanding its used when you fish for Wels Catfish in the day, and when you hit the water with it, it sends signals (like knifegill said) that wake them up, or something like that.

I have two I am growing out indoors and a larger one in an outdoor pond.

How big are the ponds? Sorry to bug you with the questions but I am looking into the logistics of actually keeping one

I've been seriously considering raising some of these in my big natural pond on my property. I'll have to double check the legality of them here in my home state but I don't think that they're illegal...
