How can I get rid of my Channel cat?

Don't release it. If you can find a home for it and a LFS wont take it then the best thing to due it to humanly uthinize it, and in the future just don't buy fish that get to big or if you aren't sure if you can keep them in the future.

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.

:clap couldn't agree more. try to find an lfs that will take him. another choice would be a public aquarium, they sometimes take overgrown fish from hobbyists to put in their displays but an lfs would probably be more likely. if you look around you may be able to find a hobbyist in your area with a huge tank or pond, but if none of those work out then the best thing to do is kill it as quickly and humanely as possible. :)
 
There are only a "few" better tasting freshwater fish than fresh catfish. A nice corn meal breading, 1/4" of oil in a hot skillet. Mmmm. Might have to pick up a couple of fillets on way home from work. :naughty:
 
never really thought abt the some of the parasites... Bad idea... I stand corrected.. dont release

:iagree: Kill it in the freezer, and then EAT IT. Do NOT release an aquarium fish in the wild, even if it's a native and local species.

Best regards.
