if anyone knows where i can get a baby wels cat in Pa.......let me know......dont want to buy out of state......sturgeon would be nice too......and a question...do flathead cats have the same spawning behavior as bullheads or channels????....i know where and when to catch baby bullheads but im not too sure about flatheads since they are now in the schuylkill river they are fair game.....
i want a wels cat

- Start date
this is true.......a sterlet would be better coz they only get a yard long.....dont know how fast wels grow either.....some fish will match their size to their house....(not carp though)....probably go crazy trying to catch enough food....
A sterlet would be sweet slow growing also I want one of those

Should be ~3' in ~3 years in temperate climate. At 3', a wels could swallow a 1.5' carp/koi and may even have a go at a 2'-er.
Correct me if I am wrong but I'd think this is called "stunting". The degree of stunting indeed varies between species. When intentional, it goes against the rules of humane pet keeping. Again, I'd think.
Few can compete with a bunch of carp/koi for food. These are piglets with fins.
Flatheads have similar spawning behavior to bullheads but not identical. If you want a bullhead they're pretty easy to tell apart from flatties.
Actually, Wels reach 3' in a year and a half, not 3 years, and at that size, is already too big for a 600 g pond.
i already have 3 baby brown bullheads in a 20 gal tank and a 6 incher in the pond with the koi......when the little guys get too big for the tank..they will go outside too
