Help me ID this Catfish

[DeeSeven]

Hello everyone I rescued a "albino catfish" today from craigslist and I"m trying to id him for obivious reasons I know he's not an "albino catfish" but I'd like to figure out exactly what he is so I can put him in the right size tank. Right now he's in a 90 gallon by himself until I figure out what he is. Right now he's roughly 8 1/2 - 9 inches.

Albino Ictalurus punctatus AKA : Albino Channel cat

Channel cat. You can eat him when he gets 1-4 lbs. Any more they start to taste funnier. But these fish easily reach lengths of 3-4 feet. I hope for all our sakes you're planning a bigger tank?
