These catfish are growing fast!!

I pulled a few out and their stomachs were huge. They are greedy and growing quick! I can't believe how easily they learned to come up to the top and take pellets.

1000 gallon pool in my basement for now. I am going to put them in my pond this spring.

I've always wondered about having a large fish pool in the basement and the humidity and moisture problems it could cause .

If you put a tarp across the ceiling and run a dehumidifier you should have no problems at all.

Humidity is currently staying steady at 42-47%, and with out a heater the water temp remains between 73-75 degrees.

They are brown and black bullheads that I caught late summer. They will be food and/or go in my pond in my backyard and maybe a few in my 10x5.5x3.5 basement aquarium when I am done building it in the next month or so.

Sweet set-up and I have been enjoying your reports on your 60 bullheads. Aren't some of the fish in the pond koi? That must be a huge bio-load. Describe your bio-filter, please, if you will, and if it is coping fine.

I never had any problem with that aspect whatsoever with my 4000 gal. If interested in details: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33968 A good dehumidifier and a plastic cover over the top was all I did to eliminate that potential problem.
