How can I get rid of my Channel cat?

[Twoplusfour]

He is about 15-16". what can I do with this monster? He killed my RD and Oscar in my 75g.

i would take it down to your local fish store and maybe they'l take it off your hands and if they have a huge display tank they can use it there. or you can take it down to a river or lake and release it....

My local aquairum was gonna take mine when it out grew my tank you can always ask them also if they have a big freshwater display... sadly mine died before it got that big =(

most LFS don't want a fish like that best bet would be to rewlease it in to a large river

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Dont release fish into the wild.

it'll be happy in any body of water in cali. I used to catch em in San Diego all the time. That and bullhead.

This is why snakeheads are banned.

i don't see what wrong with releasing native fish back? I think someone metioned that they are native to his area?

Even if the type of fish is local to your area, you shouldn't release it after it's been in a fishtank. You never know what form of mutant, microscopic nasty you would be releasing into the population, and you could (on an outside chance) devastate the local ecosystem with it.

Do not buy juvenile fish that you cannot house at their adult size.

Do not release fish into the wild.
