KEEPING WILD CHANNEL CAT?

[Loshmitchell101]

I went fishing here outside of Las Vegas, I am thinking of keeping a 30 inch channel cat. Currently i have a 300 gallon with 1 26''silver arowana, 4 8'' oscars , 8'' TSN x RTC, 8'' Two line pike, what do you think? I caught it this afternoon? Eventually after this summer I will be upgrading to an indoor pond please let me know what you think about introducing a wild caught into an established tank

Mine was 30" when he died. He should be fine. All I can say is your basic "watch out for parasites" speech. You can always use some coppersafe at half dose if you don't have means of quarentine but why risk it?

treat tank with some pond medications-formalin -malachite and acriflavin-you can use all these at once but you will need to move all your fish exept the aro.(too small).
