other than channel catfish, what other types of catfish could i put in a pond and make it through a winter in tennessee? the pond is 18" deep but it will be 36" next spring
 
im in memphis. my moms in nash. any nice lfs there? how you like superpetz?
 
stonecats, most madtoms, channels, blues, flatheads. Kept them in an outdoor pond in NC which is pretty much the same environment. They all last the winter. Pretty much every species of bullhead too. If you mean exotics then I know of some, but not sure how ethical it would be to keep exotic catfish in an outdoor pond unless it is not connected to a natural watershed.
 
does anyone know if indian sun cats would survive a winter in a 3' deep pond? we've had three at work for 6+ months and i'd like to take them home but my tanks are full
